Idiot's Delight
(Joe Grushecky & Bruce Springsteen)

   E
I met up with St. Peter
He was working at the pearly gates
He said I can't let you in now son
You're going to have to wait
            A
So just sit back and take it easy
And kick off both your shoes
    E
And grab yourself a beer
While I watch the evening news

     B
The jackals leave here laughing as they slip into the night
          A                                  N.C.[A]
How did something so beautiful turn into an idiot's delight

 

He said what makes them all so stupid
Oh what I cannot tell
Maybe I should go down there
And show them just a little hell

But would they get the message
Would anybody learn

Such a might effort
For such a small return

The jackals leave here laughing as they slip into the night
How did something so beautiful turn into an idiot's delight

 

He said sometimes I get so angry
My blood begins to boil
I must of put my seed
Into some mutant type of soil

They don't understand a thing
And they ain't got no respect

But they sure do keep me laughing man
So what the heck

The jackals leave here laughing as they slip into the night
How did something so beautiful turn into an idiot's delight
