“I really wanted some faster songs on this record, and over Christmas 2021, I asked josh to send me some instrumentals that I chopped up, and mortician came out of that.

[Verse 1]
Your life makes mine look like a real farce
I don't blame you for despising my job

[Pre-Chorus]
And when we went swimming

I’ve done that shit before and it don’t sit right
You always had the knack to laugh in sorrow
And even a mortician sees the funny side

And when I had the jab

In case I passed out
[Chorus]
When I look back I won't wallow

And every bird above is not a sparrow
And even a mortician sees the funny side
So do I
So do I
So do I
[Outro]
Oh they can see the funny side and so can I
Oh they can see the funny side and so can I
