The Funeral
by Reco Bumpers
It’s the funeral
Limos ready to take the family all the way
Cars looking like they stretch back all day
It’s the funeral, yeah, it’s the funeral
Pull on up to the burial sight
Look up at the sky and you’ll see the light
It’s the funeral, yeah, it’s the funeral
Everyone’s saying they want to go first
A couple of women screaming, "Honey, call the hearse!"
Cause it’s the funeral, yeah, it’s the funeral
There’s plenty of sorrow and plenty of tears
Everyone’s looking back on her wonder years
It’s the funeral, yeah, it’s the funeral
The old man cried for the very first time
Nothing can explain it, not even this rhyme
Cause it’s the funeral, yeah, it’s the funeral
Some people came up and lowered the casket
Others had a question, but were afraid to ask it
Cause it’s the funeral, yeah, it’s the funeral
Some women jumped in, trying to die
Looking at the sky screaming, "Lord, why?"
It’s the funeral, yeah, it’s the funeral
Night-time came so we went to her house
Nothing stirred, not even a mouse
It’s the funeral, yeah, it’s the funeral
It started getting late, so we went home
Even though surrounded, we felt alone
It’s the funeral, yeah, it’s the funeral
Once we got home we couldn’t sleep
All we could do is sit up and weep
It’s the funeral, yeah, it’s the funeral
Woke up the next morning with two hours of sleep
Next we found out we couldn’t eat
Cause it’s the funeral, yeah, it’s the funeral
We tried so hard but couldn’t move on
She was queen of the world, and now she’s gone
It’s the funeral, yeah, it’s the funeral
