   A friend commented: "Well, it's definitely not the number one song on Earth!"

   Outrageous lyrics:

   This is the number one song in heaven
   Written, of course, by the mightiest hand
   All of the angels are sheep in the fold of their master
   They always follow the Master and his plan

   This is the number one song in heaven
   Why are you hearing it now, you ask
   Maybe you're closer to here than you imagine
   Maybe you're closer to here than you care to be

   It's number one, all over heaven
   It's number one, all over heaven
   It's number one, all over heaven
   The number one song all over heaven

   If you should die before you wake
   If you should die while crossing the street
   The song that you'll hear, I guarantee

   It's number one, all over heaven
   It's number one, all over heaven
   It's number one, all over heaven
   The number one song all over heaven

   The one that's the rage up here in the clouds
   Loud as a crowd or soft as a doubt
   Lyrically weak, but the music's the thing

   Gabriel plays it,
   God how he plays it
   Gabriel plays it,
   God how he plays it
   Gabriel plays it,
   God how he plays it
   Gabriel plays it, let's hear him play it

   The song filters down, down through the clouds
   It reaches the earth and winds all around
   And then it breaks up in millions of ways

   It goes la, la, la……

   In cars it becomes a hit
   In your homes it becomes advertisements
   And in the streets it becomes the children singing
