Remains of the Day (Single Version)

Give me a listen , you corpses of cheer

At least , those of you who still got an ear

I'll tell you a story , make a skeleton cry

Bout our own jubiliciously lovely corpse bride

Die , die , we all pass away

But don't wear a frown cause it's really okay

And you might try and hide , you might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day

Oh no oh no no

Oh no no no no

Well , our girl is a beauty known for miles around

Til a mysterious stranger came into town

He was plenty of good-looking , but down on his cash

And our poor little baby , she fell hard and fast

When her daddy said no, she just couldn't cope

So our lovers came up with a plan to elope

Die , die , we all pass away

But don't wear a frown cause it's really okay

You might try and hide , you might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day

Oh no oh no no

Ski dadli bee bap shoo bap i do

Oh no oh no no

Ski da ba da ba bap do da bee do

Ah that's right

Hit it , boys

So ... they conjured up a plan to meet late at night

They told not a soul , kept the whole thing tight

Now , her mother's wedding dress fit like a glove

You don't need much when you're really in love

Except for a few things , or so I'm told

Like the family jewels and a satchel of gold

Die , die , we all pass away

But don't wear a frown cause it's really okay

You might try and hide , you might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day

Now , when she opened her eyes , she was dead as dust

Her jewels were missing , and her heart was bust

So she made a vow lying under that tree

She'd wait for her true love to come set her free

Been waiting for someone to ask for her hand

When out of the blue , comes this groovy young man

Who vows forever to be by her side

And that's the story of our corpse bride

Die , die , we all pass away

But don't wear a frown cause it's really okay

You might try and hide , you might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day

Hey hey
