Remains of the Day - Maisy Kay

Give me a listen you corpses of cheer

At least those of you who still got an ear

I’ll tell you a story, make a skeleton cry

'Bout 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

You might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day

Oh no, oh no no

Oh no, no no no no

Well, our girl is a beauty known for miles around

Till 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

You might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day

Oh no, oh no no

Oh no, oh no no

(Oh, that’s right

Hit it boys)

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 so I’m told

Like the family jewels and a satchel of gold

Die, die we all pass away

But don’t wear a frown 'cause it’s really okay

And you might try and hide

You might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day

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

Been 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 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

You might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day
