FThey lowered him down into a Amhole in the ground, DThrew in the flowers and shovelled Gearth on top. FThe cars pulled away from the AmGarden of Rest, DFor a funeral tea, with tGwentu five guests. FThe cars pulled away for the Amfuneral tea, DCos some poor sod took his Gfinal taxi.
Chorus (x2). HAHAHAHAHaaaah.
