The Lyrics
As usual, my boredom often leads to odd yet creative things like parodies....
My body lies over the ocean
My body lies over the sea
My body lies over the ocean
Why couldn't they just bury me?!?
My funeral was quite informal
No respect unfortunately
The least that they could do is tell me...
Why couldn't they just bury me?!?
Religion forbids my cremation
I guess that is okay with me
But rather than be in the ocean
Why couldn't they just bury me?!?
My body is now decomposing
My head and my foot and my knee
And now I am food for the fishies
Why couldn't they just bury me?!?
I have come to terms with my fate
Though burials cost little fee
Contentment is mine though I wonder
Why couldn't they just bury me?!?
My body lies over the ocean
My body lies over the sea
My body lies over the ocean
Why couldn't they just bury me?!?
My body lies over the sea
My body lies over the ocean
Why couldn't they just bury me?!?
My funeral was quite informal
No respect unfortunately
The least that they could do is tell me...
Why couldn't they just bury me?!?
Religion forbids my cremation
I guess that is okay with me
But rather than be in the ocean
Why couldn't they just bury me?!?
My body is now decomposing
My head and my foot and my knee
And now I am food for the fishies
Why couldn't they just bury me?!?
I have come to terms with my fate
Though burials cost little fee
Contentment is mine though I wonder
Why couldn't they just bury me?!?
My body lies over the ocean
My body lies over the sea
My body lies over the ocean
Why couldn't they just bury me?!?
Okay okay, so my mind is sort of twisted, oh well ;)
