Lyrics

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
