The Richest Guy in the Graveyard
Woke up this morning, 't was a fine sunny dayI said daddy please stay, but he had to run awayCause he was busy, busy makin' lots of goldSo I told him, better have some fun before you're oldYou'll be the richest guy in the graveyardWith money in the bankYou'll be the fattest catWho's stretched out flatYou'll have yourself to thankNow what's the good of earnin'With no time for spendin'You know you're simply headedFor a horizontal endin'The richest guy in the graveyardSo daddy won't you please slow downYou'll climb the Golden Gate to the graveyardThat gate is not so greatYou'll be the sleepiest creepWho's six feet deepYou'll find it out too lateI can't imagine how you can be a good loverAll wrapped around in brownWith a five-ply coverSo take my tip and don't work hardLetras de cancionesThen you'll delay that graveyard driveYou'll be the richest guy in the graveyardNow just you wait and seeYou'll be the honest goonWho ever went too soonThat ain't no use to meI'd rather be foundOn a flophouse bedThen down in the groundWith dirt on my headYou'll be the richest guy in the graveyardSo daddy won't you hear my pleaDo me a favor and pleaseMake out the will to me From Letras Mania
