[Verse 1]
In the beginning God
In the beginning God
In the beginning God
No Heaven, no Earth
No nothing
In the beginning
In the beginning
In the beginning God
[Verse 2]
In the beginning God
In the beginning God
In the beginning God
No Heaven, no Earth
No nothing
[Recitation]
No mountains, no valleys
No main streets and no back alleys
No night, no day, no bills to pay
No glory and no gloom
No poverty, no Cadillacs
No sand traps and no mud packs
No pedestrians, no carriage trade
No body guards, no credit cards
No conference calls, no TV commercials
No headaches and no aspirins
No heroes, no zeros
No naughty, no nice
No limit, no budget
No bottom, no topless
No cows, no bulls
No Barracuda, no buffalo
No birds, no bees, no beetles
No symphony, no jive, no Gemini five
No ten, nine, six or eight
No men trying to fill an inside straight
No applause, no critique
No amateur, no professional
No questions, no answers
No singers and no dancers
No varied and sundry, ranting and raging
Hither and yon from pillar to pot
[Verse 3]
No Heaven, no Earth
No nothing
In the beginning
In the beginning
In the beginning God
