AIN'T IT GRAND TO BE BLOODY WELL DEAD
(Traditional)
John Roberts & Tony Barrand
Look at the coffin
With golden handle
Isn't it grand, boys
To be bloody well dead
refrain:
Let's not have a sniffle
Let's have a bloody great cry
And always remember the longer you live
The sooner you bloody well die
Ah, look at the mourners
They're all bloody hypocrites
Isn't it grand, boys
To be bloody well dead... etc.
Ah, look at the priest boys,
A bloody sanctimonius chap
Isn't it ...
Ah, look at the flowers,
They're all bloody withered
Isn't it...
Ah, look at the widow,
A bloody great female
Isn't it...
