 The Richest Guy In The Graveyard (Palmer & Hedges)
 Woke up this morning
 It was a fine, sunny day
 I said, "Daddy, please stay"
 But he had to run away
 Cause he was busy
 Busy making lots of dough
 So I told him
 Better have some fun before you're old
 You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard
 With money in the bank
 You'll be the fattest cat who's stretched out flat
 You'll have yourself to thank
 Now what's the good of earning
 With no time for spending
 You know you're simply headed
 For a horizontal ending
 Richest guy in the graveyard
 So Daddy, won't you please slow down?
 You'll climb the golden gate to the graveyard
 That gate is not so great
 You'll be the sleepiest creep who's six feet deep
 You'll find it out too late
 Now I can't imagine
 How you could be a good lover
 In a brass bound box
 With a rosewood cover
 So take my tip and don't work too hard
 Then you'll delay that graveyard drive
 You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard
 Now just you wait and see
 You'll be the gonest ghoul
 Who ever went to school
 That ain't no use to me
 I'd rather be found on a flophouse bed
 Than down in the ground
 With dirt on my head
 You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard
 So Daddy won't you hear my plea?
 Do me a favor
 And please make out the will to me
