'Be Merry' Whenever you see the hearse go by And think to yourself that you're gonna die, Be merry, my friends, be merry. They put you in a big white shirt And cover you over with tons of dirt, Be merry, my friends, be merry. They put you in a long-shaped box And cover you over with tons of rocks, Be merry, my friends, be merry The worms crawl out and the worms crawl in, The ones that crawl in are lean and thin, The ones that crawl out are fat and stout, Be merry, my friends, be merry. Your eyes fall in and your hair falls out And your brains come tumbling down your snout, Be merry, my friends, be merry. Anon
