The Lyrics
I am a professional obituary writer and occasional freelance undertaker.
Snake is dead, Pinny’s dead
All the kids I played with: dead.
Prostate cancer, heart attack or two,
Strokes, Vietnam – all took my crew.
Joe the Horse, schoolyard star,
Ev’ryone said he’d go far
Couldn’t hit the curveball Nature threw –
ALS at 42.
Just last week, on the street,
Sam, head down, sent out a tweet
But a cellar door was open wide
Sam fell on his head inside.
Lover Jake, great man, sir,
Both his guys: lost to cancer
Me, I’m glad that I am still alive
Wait! Did Reaper just arrive?
All the kids I played with: dead.
Prostate cancer, heart attack or two,
Strokes, Vietnam – all took my crew.
Joe the Horse, schoolyard star,
Ev’ryone said he’d go far
Couldn’t hit the curveball Nature threw –
ALS at 42.
Just last week, on the street,
Sam, head down, sent out a tweet
But a cellar door was open wide
Sam fell on his head inside.
Lover Jake, great man, sir,
Both his guys: lost to cancer
Me, I’m glad that I am still alive
Wait! Did Reaper just arrive?
