Now that I am dead
My agent finally said
He wanted to have lunch with me
Now that I'm deceased
My record sales increased
I'm making lots of royalties
I'm a composer decomposing
I'm on the rockers' roll of fame
My songs, the critics are praising
Yes, they even learned to spell my name
Now that I've expired
My picture's in the Enquirer
Psychics claim to contact me
Now that I have kicked
The Rolling Stone has picked
My albums as the best that be
They all say that I was over-stressed
Since the breakup with my wife
But their payment plan was not the best
My check was in the mail all my life
Since I'm pushing daisies
Lawyers who were lazy are negotiating deals
Now that I've been boxed
They say my music rocks
It's taken on a new appeal
Too bad my genius was discovered
After my coffin was covered
But I'm forever grateful for eternity
Now that my video's on MTV
Ha-ha-ha-ha...
Death always seems so rash
But now I've lots of cash
Now that I'm dead...
I can finally make a living
Mu-ha-ha-ha-ha...
I am Mr. Dead
Mu-ha-ha-ha-ha...
