Bobbie Gentry - Casket Vignette

Текст песни

Here are some samples of the fabric, Miss Morgan
I know how painful it must be
But I guess it’s your responsibility
I understand he was your fiancee
What a tragedy
Everybody wants to go to Heaven, Miss Morgan
But nobody wants to die
Have you often wondered why?
And why are your eyes so dry?
It would help to cry
This is a popular, dusty, rose velvet, Miss Morgan
Or how about a satin brocade?
Guaranteed not to fade
Or maybe you’d prefer another shade
Trimmed in gold or silver braid?
Would you like a lemonade?
There’s no ice, I’m afraid
You can rest assured you have our heartfelt sympathy
(La-la, la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la)
La-la-la, la-la, la, ah-ah-ah
(You can use our easy payment plan)
La-la-la, la-la, la, ah-ah-ah-ah
(Two hundred now and fifty when you can)
La-la-la, la-la, la, la, la-la-la, la
(We wanted you to know we understand)
La-la-la, la-la, la, la, la
(La-la-la, la-la, la, la, la)
You can take comfort in knowing, Miss Morgan
He’s where we all want to be
Why are you laughing at me?
Don’t you believe in eternity?
(La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la)
