LYRICS

Graeme Reaper: Part time novelty funeral entertainer, professional undertaker and writer of unusual obituaries.

The Death Song 
Music and lyrics by Richard Lilley

Roger Moore died from cancer
John Hurt went the same
Ken Dodd – a chest infection
Leslie Grantham unexplained

Now there’s not many things you can be sure of
In this unsure world of ours
But there’s one thing you can rely on
Something that won’t let you down

And it’s called death
Lovely lovely death
Sweet death
Lovely lovely death

Now George Michael, had an heart attack
Dale Winton unexplained
Stephen Hawking – Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Jim Bowen old age

So when that old Grim Reaper comes and taps you on the shoulder
And says “come on down”
Just pack up a grin say “how ya been”
And sing this happy song

A song called death
Lovely lovely death
Sweet death
Lovely lovely death

So live for today forget tomorrow
Who knows when it’s going to end
There might be a dark shadowy figure
Lurking round the bend

And it’s called death
