Remains of the Day

Hey! Give me a listen, you corpses of cheer Least less of you who still got an ear I'll tell you a story, make your skeleton cry Of our own judiciously lovely corpse bride Die, die we all pass away But don't wear a frown 'cuz it's really okay You might try and hide, and you might try and pray But we all end up the remains of the day Die die die, yeah yeah, die die die Well! A girl is a beauty known for miles around A mysterious stranger came into town He was plenty good lookin' but down on his cash And our poor little baby she fell hard and fast When her daddy said no, she just couldn't cope So our lovers came up with a plan to elope Die, die we all pass away But don't wear a frown 'cuz it's really okay You might try and hide, and you might try and pray But we all end up the remains of the day Die die die yeah yeah Die die die yeah yeah Die die die yeah yeah Die die die yeah yeah Yeah, so they conjured up a plan to meet late at night They told not a soul kept the whole thing tight Now her mother's wedding dress fit like a glove You don't need much when you're really in love Except for a few things or so I'm told Like the family jewels and a satchel of gold Then next to the graveyard by the old oak tree On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three She was ready to go, but where was he? (And then) She waited (And then) There in the shadows, was it a man? (And then) Her little heart beat so loud! (And then) And then baby, everything went black Now when she opened her eyes, she was dead as dust Her jewels were missin' and her heart was bust So she made a vow lyin' under that tree That she'd wait for her true love to come set her free Always waitin' for someone to ask for her hand Then outta the blue comes this groovy young man Who vows forever, to be by her side And that's the story of our own, corpse bride Die, die we all pass away But don't wear a frown 'cuz it's really okay You might try and hide, and you might try and pray But we all end up the remains of the day Yeah
