[Verse 1]
Here are some samples of the fabric, Miss Morgan
I know how painful it must be
But I guess it's your responsibility
I understand he was your fiancee
What a tragedy
[Verse 2]
Everybody wants to go to Heaven, Miss Morgan
But nobody wants to die
Have you often wondered why?
And why are your eyes so dry?
It would help to cry
[Verse 3]
This is a popular, dusty, rose velvet, Miss Morgan
Or how about a satin brocade?
Guaranteed not to fade
Or maybe you'd prefer another shade
Trimmed in gold or silver braid?
Would you like a lemonade?
There's no ice, I'm afraid
[Bridge]
You can rest assured you have our heartfelt sympathy
(La-la, la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la)
La-la-la, la-la, la, ah-ah-ah
(You can use our easy payment plan)
La-la-la, la-la, la, ah-ah-ah-ah
(Two hundred now and fifty when you can)
La-la-la, la-la, la, la, la-la-la, la
(We wanted you to know we understand)
La-la-la, la-la, la, la, la
(La-la-la, la-la, la, la, la)
[Verse 4]
You can take comfort in knowing, Miss Morgan
He's where we all want to be
Why are you laughing at me?
Don't you believe in eternity? *casket closing*
[Outro]
(La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la)
