For almost thirty years until his dying day
[Bridge]
The old toys in the shed have got to go
The old toys in the shed have got to go
[Chorus]
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
[Verse 3: Mike Lindsay]
We are now getting slow, time is getting short
We watch the snow and the birch trees growing old
To start with photographs may have been a mistake

The old toys in the shed have got to go
The old toys in the shed have got to go
[Chorus]
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
We are Swedish Death Cleaning
