Climb up, ye little chillun!
Climb up, ye older people!
Climb up to de sky!
Now is your chance for Heaben
Go up in six and seben
Climb up, ye chillun, climb!
[Verse 1]
Jacob dreamt he saw a ladder
(Reachin' to de sky)
Angels flying up and down it
(Climb up, chillun, climb!)
Sisters, can't they git to Heaben
(For de happy time!)
Don't you wish you'd bin dar, honey
(Climb up, chillun, climb!)

Climb up, ye little chillun!
Climb up, ye older people!
Climb up to de sky!
Now is your chance for Heaben
Go up in six and seben
Climb up, ye chillun, climb!
[Verse 2]
If I had a golden ladder
(Reachin' to de sky)
I would climb my way to Heaben
(Climb up, chillun, climb!)
Git ye ready, lovely folkses
(For de happy time!)
Can't put on them airs, I tole yer!
(Climb up, chillun, climb!)

Climb up, ye little chillun!
Climb up, ye older people!
Climb up to de sky!
Now is your chance for Heaben
Go up in six and seben
Climb up, ye chillun, climb!
[Verse 3]
There won't be any politicians
(Mountin' to de sky)
'Case dar is no loaves and fishes!
(Climb up, chillun, climb!)
Rich folks, help de poor and needy
(While you got de time)
You've got to leab that cash-box, honey!
(Climb up, chillun, climb!)
[Chorus]
Climb up, ye little chillun!
Climb up, ye older people!
Climb up to de sky!
Now is your chance for Heaben
Go up in six and seben
Climb up, ye chillun, climb!
Climb up, ye little chillun!
