Lots of people die
Everyone in fact
But when I'm dead I've decided
I'll give something back
-
I won't bore the people witless
As a priest goes on and on
I'll give them fun and merriment
Even though I'm dead and gone
-
I want a fancy dress funeral
Fancy dress funeral
If you don't come as something cool
You inherit nothing, that's the rule
Fancy dress funeral
The only way to go
-
You can't take your money with you
But I don't want to give it away
So I'll spend it all on the funeral
My very own special day
-
I want a fancy dress funeral
Fancy dress funeral
If you don't come as something cool
You inherit nothing, that's the rule
Fancy dress funeral
The only way to go
-
And when I'm dead
deceased and gone and such
If a drunk would pee on my grave
I'd thank him very much
-
I want a fancy dress funeral
Fancy dress funeral
If you don't come as something cool
You inherit nothing, that's the rule
Fancy dress funeral
The only way to go
