I Got Dibs

from Rahm Songs by Andrew Francis

/

about

Well, well. Here we are in the depths of Winter, no?

Here we are, Chicago, just freezing our butts off and we gotta get inside so quick.

This song that I wrote is pretty obvious. We all know about the time-honored tradition of dibs. We all know someone who takes dibs regularly. And we all know someone who regularly talks about how dibs are the downfall of modern, industrial society.

lyrics

I got dibs, you got dibs, all God's kids got dibs! When I get to Heaven, gonna take my dibs! Dibs all over God's Heaven. Heaven! Heaven! Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven ain't a-goin' there! Heaven! Heaven! Dibs all over God's Heaven!

I got mine, you got yours, all God's children got theirs! When I get to Heaven, gonna put out my chairs! Chairs all over God's Heaven!

I need help, you need help, all God's children need help! When I get to Heaven, gonna help myself! Help myself to God's Heaven!

I got a spot, you got a spot, all God's children got spots! When I get to Heaven, God'll show me my spot, way up high in God's Heaven!

I got a right, you got a right, all God's children for rights! When I get to Heaven, God'll read me my rights, way up high in God's Heaven!
