The doors to the mission open at seven

 And the soup will be ready about nine

Right now its six-thirty, they're ragged and dirty

 They standin' and sittin', and layin' in line

First they'll do a little singin', then hear a little preachin'

 And get saved for the 3rd time this week

 A bowl of soup later and a pat on the shoulder

 And by midnight, they're back on the street.

They walk to the corner of 4th street and Broadway

 Then take the first alley on the right

One of them asks a stranger, how 'bout a hand

 And he gives 'em one finger at a time

Then they spot an old buddy, with a bottle of heaven

 Then pass around what means everything

 One bottle for four, thank God someone scored

 And now the Midnight Choir starts to sing.

 ( capella)

Will they have Mogen David in heaven

Dear Lord, we'd all like to know

Will they have Mogen David in heaven, Sweet Jesus

If they don't, who the hell wants to go.

 Will they have Mogen David in heaven

Dear Lord, we'd all like to know

 Will they have Mogen David in Heaven, Sweet Jesus

 If they don't, who the hell wants to go.

 If they don't, who the hell wants to go.
