《The Richest Guy in the Graveyard》歌词

[00:00:00] The Richest Guy in the Graveyard - Etta Jones

[00:00:11] Woke up this morning

[00:00:13] 'T was a fine sunny day

[00:00:16] I said daddy please stay but he had to run

[00:00:20] Away

[00:00:21] 'Cause he was busy

[00:00:24] Busy makin' lots of gold

[00:00:31] So I told him

[00:00:34] Better have some fun before you're

[00:00:37] Old

[00:00:41] You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard

[00:00:48] With money in the bank

[00:00:52] You'll be the fattest cat

[00:00:55] Who's stretched out flat

[00:00:59] You'll have yourself to thank

[00:01:02] Now what's the good of earnin'

[00:01:06] With no time for spendin'

[00:01:08] You know you're simply headed

[00:01:11] For a horizontal endin'

[00:01:14] The richest guy

[00:01:16] In the graveyard

[00:01:19] So daddy won't you please slow down

[00:01:23] You'll climb the golden gate

[00:01:27] To the graveyard

[00:01:30] That gate is not so great

[00:01:34] You'll be the sleepiest creep

[00:01:37] Who's six feet deep

[00:01:41] You'll find it out too late

[00:01:46] I can't imagine

[00:01:48] How you can be a good lover

[00:01:51] All wrapped around in brown

[00:01:53] With a five ply cover

[00:01:56] So take my tip

[00:01:58] And don't work hard

[00:02:02] Then you'll delay that graveyard drive

[00:02:06] You'll be the richest guy

[00:02:10] In the graveyard

[00:02:13] Now just you wait and see

[00:02:17] You'll be the honest goon

[00:02:20] Who ever went too soon

[00:02:24] That ain't no use to me

[00:02:29] I'd rather be found

[00:02:31] On a flophouse bed

[00:02:34] Then down in the ground

[00:02:37] With dirt on my head

[00:02:39] You'll be the richest guy

[00:02:42] In the graveyard

[00:02:46] So daddy won't you hear my plea

[00:02:48] Do me a favor and please

[00:02:51] Make out the will to me
