Bummer

Dearly departed we

Gather here solemnly

To describe how we feel ‘bout your suddenly passing

Stories of deeds that touch

Seem like a bit too much

Then they point to me hoping for thoughts everlasting

Never, never, never know

(You) Never, never, never know

Never, never, never know

(You) never, never, never know

Never, never, never know

Bummer

All of them prattle on

Even your widow yawns

You deserve something more, but they go through the motions

They have seen on TV

People of majesty who can sum up a life with a phrase

They don't know you

It's a bummer, it's a bummer, what a bummer

Bummer

We had eyes on the same

Stunning thing, both insane

All the time, I could see

It was you

Rest in peace

Bummer, bummer, bummer

Bummer

We had the best of times, all of those petty crimes

It all had to end with your vows to be tasteful

What I said angrily

I should have kept to me

What I said to you both it was primetime disgraceful

It's a bummer, it's a bummer

What a bummer, what a bummer

It's a bummer, it's a bummer

What a bummer, what a bummer

Quoting a Shakespeare line

Citing the Bible I'm not sure that that fits, anyway I am lazy

Don't worry, I will not try hitting on her, you're fine

I respect you enough, though she still drives me crazy

It's a bummer, it's a bummer, what a bummer

Bummer

Some ol' fool says, “life goes on”

She is crushed that you're gone

Just a word says it all

Just a word, you hit that wall

Never, never, never know

(You) Never, never, never know

Never, never, never know

(You) never, never, never know

Never, never, never know

(You) never, never, never know

It's a bummer, it's a bummer

What a bummer, what a bummer

It's a bummer, it's a bummer

What a bummer

Bummer
