lyrics

I'm shuffling off this mortal coil
Very soon I'll be in my oils
Things have been creaking for some time
It won't be long before the end of line
No, it won't be long before I'm done
The Pearly Gates have booked a table for one
I'm shuffling off this mortal coil
Very soon I'll be in my oils

Hey Hey Hey
It’s okay
Hey Hey Hey

Freddie in Bohemian Rhapsody
Said ”I don't wannna die" but brother, that ain’t me
Give me the sweet release of death
I just can't wait to draw the last of my breath
And I don't know why they call the reaper grim,
I've seen all the pictures and I'm down with him
Soon he'll come-a-knocking again
The key is under the pot and he can let himself in

Hey Hey Hey
It’s okay
Hey Hey Hey

What a wonderful day for meeting my maker
We could pull up a chair and have a cup of Earl Grey
La La La la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Hey Hey

I'm shuffling off this mortal coil
Any day now I’ll be in my oils
When I looked in the mirror today
I'd take salt and pepper, but it's just all grey
A welcome’s not to be overstayed
Like a bothersome in-law wanting one more day
I'm shuffling off this mortal coil
Any day now I’ll be in my oils

I'm shuffling off this mortal coil
Very soon I'll be in my oils
No, it won't be long before I'm done
The Pearly Gates have booked my table for one
