  *++Lyrics:|\\
If you want to git to Heaven on de nickleplated road,\\
Just push dem clouds away!\\
Bring along all yer baggage and check it to de Lord,\\
When you push dem clouds away!\\
If de train am a-speedin' an' you can't catch on,\\
When you push dem clouds away!\\
You're a c--n dat's gone, and wuss dan none,\\
When push dem clouds away!\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Just push! Don't shove!\\
Just push dem clouds away!\\
Keep a-pushin', an' a-shovin' an', a pushin' an a-shovin',\\
'Till you push dem clouds away!\\
//(repeat chorus)//\\
\\
Oh, de chickens up dere, don't have to scratch,\\
When you push dem clouds away!\\
All the green and yaller is dat watermillion patch,\\
When you push dem clouds away!\\
If de people am a-yellin' for pie and milk,\\
Just push dem clouds away!\\
De angels dere all dress in silk,\\
When you push dem clouds away!\\
\\
There'll be no boys a-puffin cigarettes,\\
When you push dem clouds away!\\
They'll all have wings those mammy's little pets,\\
When you push dem clouds away!\\
Old Gabriel's horn will toot and roar,\\
When you push dem clouds away!\\
There'll be no dudes around the stage door,\\
When you push dem clouds away!\\
