about

I wrote this song after the death of my beloved kitten, Sid. When I was a child I was told that animals didn't go to heaven which I thought was really unfair. This made me wonder if there was any reason to want to go to heaven, as I can't imagine life (anywhere) without animals.

lyrics

Sid was such a special boy, made me laugh out loud
filled my heart with joy
but it's not easy to explain, not easy to explain

he was the youngest in a long list
I loved him so
my special boy
that's not easy to explain, not easy to explain

if you've never had a four legged friend
it might be hard for you to comprehend
that I don't want to go to heaven if they don't let cats and dogs in
say no to birds and dolphins
I don't want to go, don't want to go to heaven.

I don't want to go to heaven if they don't let cats and dogs in
say no to birds and dolphins
would you want to go? I don't want to go to heaven.
I don't want to go, I don't want to go
no I don't want to go to heaven.
