Long Live The Dead Guy

Lyrics

Vladimir Lenin had a stoic jaw line
 But he got very bored of that and this
 He got bored of the old folks and their troubles
 Then he got bored stiff of rigormortis
 Vlad had a bad cold and he sneezed
 His union preserved him but his mother knew
 No matter how hard you kick the bucket son,
 It will survive you
 ...and the people roared
 "Long live the dead guy!"
 He's had a great life and I want my slice
 ...and the people roared
 "Long live the dead guy!"
 He's had a great life and I want my slice
 If the guards aren't watching I'll get a piece to call mine
 Cause he looks so nice in double-breasted formaldehyde
 Like Dionysus or Jesus Christ
 Very good looking and great with rice
 We rushed passed the guards as we were on the make
 It was Vlad under glass-- there was nothing to take
 We went home disappointed and baked a cake
 In the likeness of Vlad and we ate and we ate
 ...and the people roared
 "Long live the dead guy!"
 He's had a great life
 and I want my slice
 ...and the people roared
 "Long live the dead guy!"
 He's had a great life and I want my slice
 Vlad had a gift for luck of action
 He had violence in frowns and a nice green suit
 Saw-dust for a heart and a formaldehyde brain
 But the envy of everyone just the same
 He put it to the czar and his family
 With grace of genius and executioner's style
 His friend and his comrades they all knew
 They needed a great one and he would do
 ...and the people roared
 "Long live the dead guy!"
 He's had a great life
 and I want my slice
 ...and the people roared
 "Long live the dead guy!"
 He's had a great life and I want my slice
