Remains of the Day

Hey!
 Give me a listen, you corpses of cheer
 Least less of you who still got an ear
 I'll tell you a story, make your skeleton cry
 Of our own judiciously lovely corpse bride
 Die, die we all pass away
 But don't wear a frown 'cuz it's really okay
 You might try and hide, and you might try and pray
 But we all end up the remains of the day
 Die die die, yeah yeah, die die die
 Well! A girl is a beauty known for miles around
 A mysterious stranger came into town
 He was plenty good lookin' 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 'cuz it's really okay
 You might try and hide, and you might try and pray
 But we all end up the remains of the day
 Die die die yeah yeah
 Die die die yeah yeah
 Die die die yeah yeah
 Die die die yeah yeah
 Yeah, 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
 Then next to the graveyard by the old oak tree
 On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three
 She was ready to go, but where was he?
 (And then) She waited
 (And then) There in the shadows, was it a man?
 (And then) Her little heart beat so loud!
 (And then) And then baby, everything went black
 Now when she opened her eyes, she was dead as dust
 Her jewels were missin' and her heart was bust
 So she made a vow lyin' under that tree
 That she'd wait for her true love to come set her free
 Always waitin' for someone to ask for her hand
 Then outta the blue comes this groovy young man
 Who vows forever, to be by her side
 And that's the story of our own, corpse bride
 Die, die we all pass away
 But don't wear a frown 'cuz it's really okay
 You might try and hide, and you might try and pray
 But we all end up the remains of the day
 Yeah
