Hey!
Give me a listen
you corpses of cheer
At least those of you
who still got an ear
I'll tell you a story
that'll make a skeleton cry
Of 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
And you might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (that's right)
Yeah yeah yeah
Well our girl is a beauty known
for miles around
When a mysterious stranger
came into town
He's plenty 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
And you might try and hide
And you might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh, that's right.
Okay. Oh, yeah. Come on, boys,
pick it up Yeah.
Like it. Okay, Chancy, take it.
Yeah. Yeah!
That's nice 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 some 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 her 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 missing
and her heart was bust
So she made a vow
lying under that tree
That she'd wait for her true love
to come set her free
Always 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 own 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
And you might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
