The Lyrics
my business...my racket
i grin and sell ya caskets
you need a casket for your mommy ?
step this way, i'll box her
i'll box her...i'll box her
yes, step this way...i'll box her
a little make up...pack her up
and take her to the graveyard
she was truckin' on down the avenue
ain't no doubt, this dame is through
she was dead as dead and graveyard-bound
now, she's guided in the ground
my business...my racket
please buy this fellow's caskets
and no, you cannot bring it back
we use it just one time
are you dead ? ...no no no no
in the ground ? ...no no no no
are you through ? ...no no no no
then you sure don't need a casket
i grin and sell ya caskets
you need a casket for your mommy ?
step this way, i'll box her
i'll box her...i'll box her
yes, step this way...i'll box her
a little make up...pack her up
and take her to the graveyard
she was truckin' on down the avenue
ain't no doubt, this dame is through
she was dead as dead and graveyard-bound
now, she's guided in the ground
my business...my racket
please buy this fellow's caskets
and no, you cannot bring it back
we use it just one time
are you dead ? ...no no no no
in the ground ? ...no no no no
are you through ? ...no no no no
then you sure don't need a casket
