Turning pages discreetly,
For fear that I'll find my name there.

Oh Beth! Beth Beth Beth! Beth Beth Beth!
We pray for your death death, death death;
And hope that you go
Real painful and slow,
Eating shit, while breathing last breath.

Did note as she pulled back the cover,
That her man, slipping fast,
Was expiring at last,
So she made a quick date with her lover.

Forever to live I'll be first!

When my time is over at last,
I don't care what you say of my past;

Don't care if you call me a whore.
Say I was easy,
Call me cheap and sleazy --
Just don't say that I was a bore!

After my life's unraveled,
Given my last earthly squeeze.

Scatter me over the garden.

And if when deployed
The wind changes, I beg your pardon.

I'd be killed by natural fate.
And yet you still plan
To murder a man
With his hand on the cemetry gate.

Make priests and morticians stay far
From my body, which may
