Karma or Nirvana

Tune: Meredith Willson's "Gary, Indiana"

Karma or Nirvana,
Karma or Nirvana,
Karma or Nirvana—
That's the doctrine I propound;

Karma or Nirvana,
Karma or Nirvana,
Karma or Nirvana—
It's a never-ending round.

I believe in my repetitive incarnation
In the form of sundry critters of every station;
It imparts a piquant air of anticipation—
I can hardly wait
Till I learn my fate.

Karma or Nirvana,
Karma or Nirvana
Mightn't prompt hosanna
From the Vatican in Rome,

But Karma or Nirvana,
Karma or Nirvana,
Karma or Nirvana
Is Om, sweet Om.
