Mr. Merry cries in his coffin for days he says he can remember
Ab              Eb/G     Fm          Eb       Db
And through the town the pallbearers sing old songs

He had a how do you say ethical like sense

That's when the President started to giggle

Each of them sued the other one

He pulls the lid on down as his stone is read
              Eb/G      Fm           Eb       Db
Here lies our Merry the man with the heart so spent
                                    Eb
That in this day and age is sick of living
