lyrics

I am important.
You know I am.
I have the answers you haven't asked
and I know the cure for all your ills.

Your look is of confusion
You know I knew it would be.
Hush (hush) hush (hush) hush (hush)
Hush now, child.
It will all be better
when we all agree
with me.

Put down your tome
And don a frock
All green and black and red
And choose our volume to ingest
A workbook for the dead.

He who cures all
Walks on seas
I know him very well.
He balms my head
And shoes my soles
And always signs my checks.
(Check please!)

Put down your tome
And don a frock,
All green and black and red,
And choose our volume to ingest,
A Workbook for the Dead.

I am your friend, the very best!
Advice from me to you:
A solitary branch remains,
Enough to hang your neck.

Rush at our Becks, our calls,
Guzzle down our swill,
And sheep do have Bills,
And we can't be killed.

Put down your tome
And don a frock,
All green and black and red,
And choose our volume to ingest,
A Workbook for the Dead.

Tea was had. Songs were made. Ironically, sans piano. Then along came a wry jazz cat to lend a backbeat to their melodies, and extra pep in your step. And so it was. Just for you. ... more
