A Short Biography
Think of him is a kindly way
well disposed and amiable
died of natural causes
old angel and many disappointments
from the arms of a devoted mother
(be careful when you cross the street
ever trust anyone at night)
he grew up alone
on motherly kisses and fatty food
his waist line bulged
at an early age
tee-dum tee-dum
tee-dum tee-dum
lost it all when he went to war
waved the flag to all concerned
thankful he was still alive
Then God came to him
on a stormy night
shape up old buddy or
else
he went to Wall Street
made a pile
everybody called him sir
begat a few children
who live to inherit
his obituary was very kind
respected member etc etc
tee-dum tee-dum
tee-dum tee-dum
never missed an appointment
up to the end
His headstone
confirms his final engagement
legal and sealed
by a friendly coroner
attested to by a regal cortege
tee-dum dee-dum
tee-dum tee-dum
