put a mask on it, baby
if you think that they can tell
put the fix on it, honey
if the thing ain't working well
when they lay me in my grave
with a smile on my face
cuz i found it sorta funny that i died while saying grace
stick a knife in it, darling
if you think it's gonna live
tie a noose round it, sugar
while it's squealing like a pig
when they wake me up the day
that they're gonna put me down
i'll be thankful for the fact that i can stop hanging around
i'll tell you a joke
johnny was having a smoke
it was a beautiful day
the rain was going away, my baby
there in the sun
i watched him cleaning his gun
and when i got back in bed
he shot himself in the head, my baby
i'll sing you a song
this life's a little too long
it was a real drag to clean
on easter 1916, my baby
what a surprise, then
when he opened his eyes
and can you say sister sue
what peter cottontail knew
