Story Behind the Song
Joe has been brought to heaven by an angel escort and is raising Hell because he doesn't think he belongs there.
But Heaven "Don't"...er...DOESN'T make mistakes...or?
This opening number actually has another verse and is extended a little longer, but this is the only version I recorded.
VOCALS:
JOE, ANGEL BREAKDOWN: Steven Stewart
ESCORT: Daniel Law
ANGELS: Jenee Wright
Lyrics
ANGELS: Heaven don't...Heaven don't...Heaven don't...
Heaven don't make mistakes!
Heaven don't...Heaven don't...Heaven don't...
Heaven don't make mistakes!
ESCORT: Listen here, Mr. Pendleton. I'm a very busy man. I will say this once and SLOWLY, so even YOU will understand.
You are dead.
JOE: Dead?
ESCORT: I'm your escort.
JOE: You're an angel?
ESCORT: Can't you tell? Now get in line! You're going to heaven. And stop giving me so much Hell!
ANGELS: Heaven don't...Heaven don't...Heaven don't...
Heaven don't make mistakes!
Heaven don't...Heaven don't...Heaven don't...
Heaven don't make mistakes!
JOE: Time out! I must be dreaming. I can't believe what you say.
We're talking the World Series, and I have got to play.
ESCORT: Look here Joe, you're not listening. You are dead, kaput, kapow.
You can't very well play baseball when you're six feet underground.
ANGELS: Heaven don't (JOE: Heaven does!)...Heaven don't(JOE: Heaven does!)...
Heaven don't make mistakes! (JOE: Well, YOU did!)
Heaven don't...Heaven don't (JOE: Heaven does!)...Heaven don't...(JOE: Heaven does!)
Heaven don't make mistakes! (JOE: Check again!)
ESCORT: Are you implying God's not perfect? Joseph! I'm ashamed!
JOE: No, I'm saying someone's screwed up, and I think that you're to blame!
(Breakdown of angels)
ANGEL1: Heaven can't wait!
ANGEL 2 (with clipboard): beep beep beep I can't find his name, sir. Beep beep beep! He's not on the list, sir! Beep Beep Beep! What more can we do, sir?
ANGEL 3: HEA-VEN CAN'T WAIT!
ANGEL 4: (in denial) No mistakes! Heaven is perfect!
ANGELS: Heaven don't...Heaven don't...Heaven don't...
Heaven don't make mistakes!
Heaven don't...Heaven don't...Heaven don't...
Heaven don't make mistakes!
ESCORT: Get in line!
