A stranger gives a homeless man a ticket to Hawaii
Giving him an option to sleep on the streets or sleep on the beach
The bum accepts the ticket graciously
He said, "My, my, my, what an opportunity"
He packed his bags, got on the plane
Got nothing to lose, everything to gain
Claimed his seat, things are going well
Until, "Sorry, sir, you'll have to leave, you're filthy, you smell"
Everywhere you go there's a dude on your ass, yo
Everywhere I go there's a dude on my ass, yo
Hopefully things will change, maybe soon, I don't know
I'll sit on the equator, waiting for the snow
If I had a clean shirt and a pair of shoes
Proper ID then I wouldn't lose
I'd walk these streets with my head held high
I've found my place is in the sky (sky)
Is in the sky, is in the sky
In the sky

Stranger gives a poor man a million dollar check
He was old, he was wealthy, he figured, "What the heck?"
Without a job, without a dime, humbly he walks
All the way to the bank, to himself he talks
He said, "Aye, aye, aye, what am I gonna do with all these dollars?
Aye, aye, aye, what am I gonna do with all these quarters?
Aye, aye, aye, what am I gonna do with all these pennies?"
"Sorry, you can't cash this check without proper ID"
Everywhere you go there's a dude up your ass, yo
Everywhere I go there's a dude up my ass, yo
Hopefully things will change, maybe soon, I don't know
I'll sit on the equator, waiting for the snow
If I had a clean shirt and a pair of shoes
Proper ID then I wouldn't lose
I'd walk these streets with my head held high
I've found my place is in the sky (sky)
Is in the sky, is in the sky
In the sky
The earth seems hushed when the first snow falls
You watch the ground turn to a sea of white
Peace is this feeling, there's commotion up above
The ground is freezing, there's commotion up above
The flight was rough, mad people getting dizzy
Everybody sick, kept the flight attendants busy
The teller wraps up in a cloth of sheeting
Tripped on ice, bumped her head, didn't know where she be
Everywhere you go there's a dude on your ass, yo
Everywhere I go there's a dude on my ass, yo
Hopefully things will change, maybe soon, I don't know

I've found my place is in the sky
In the sky, yeah, is in the sky
