Better be careful for somebody's keeping score
If you do to other's like you wouldn't like done to you
You better be careful for somebody's keeping score
For somebody's keeping score
In that great tomorrow land they honor a chosen few
So you better be careful for somebody's keeping score
For somebody's keeping score
No use pouting or shouting, "Halleluiah"
You're gonna get exactly what's coming to you
So if you're in trouble there is nothing you can do
But get on your knees and pray
For they'll be the devil to pay
At the final curtain, you can be certain
Somebody's keeping score
Everything that you do bad is marked down on a great big pad
If you're not righteous, how you'll pay when they add your score on judgement day
Hear me, world, hear me good
Love everybody in the neighborhood
'Cause through those pearly portals pass
The people who stand at the head of the class
One good deed deserves another
But one bad deed can hurt you, brother
So make your good points total high
On that scoreboard in the sky
A big black mark beside your name
Means you have gone and lost the game
But things will turn out like they should
If you're good, man, good (Good, good, good)
Don't do to other's like you wouldn't like done to you
You better be careful for somebody's keeping score
For somebody's keeping score
In that great tomorrow land they honor a chosen few
So you better be careful for somebody's keeping score
For somebody's keeping score
No use pouting or shouting, "Halleluiah"
You're gonna get exactly what's coming to you
So if you're in trouble there is nothing you can do
But get on your knees and pray
For they'll be the devil to pay
At the final curtain, you can be certain
Somebody's keeping
Somebody's keeping
Somebody's keeping score
