Do you really think that you deserve to pass
Said the angel to our hero at the last
If you give me but a moment to explain

I can prove my life hasn't been in vain
It's true I may have lied to wriggle free
Of many of my life's little awkward situations

The lives I've touched are frivolous or few
A savoir I've been called, and it's justified, it's true


Please, sir
If you let me in I'll prove sir
I'll fight by tooth and nail

By crook by crook to dispel
Fight by tooth and nail
By crook by crook to dispel

All these myths and fabrications, fables
How I've changed, oh how I've changed, oh please, sir


A crowd was gathering outside the gates
And Ross' tales made them gawk and gape
Riddles told of travels, tales of grace

From tears of joy, smiles, on every waiting face
Illustrious his stories to the end
The people gathered round their effervescent friend

As heaven's gates swung to let him in
He e'en crossed his fingers and allowed himself a grin


Please, sir
If you let me in I'll prove sir
I'll fight by tooth and nail

By crook by crook to dispel
Fight by tooth and nail
By crook by crook to dispel

All these myths and fabrications, fables
How I've changed, oh how I've changed, oh please, sir
All these myths and fabrications, fables

How I've changed, oh how I've changed, oh please, sir
All these myths and fabrications, fables
How I've changed, oh how I've changed

Please, sir
