Cancer

Uncle Bill and auntie Mary

Always used to shout

And uncle Bill would knock

Auntie Mary about

With auntie Mary

In such misery

I always thought that cancer

Was like the cavalry

When cancer cut Bill down

They said what a crying shame

Well I never thought so

And Mary did the same

Let’s face it Bill

You were a bastard through and through

So when that cancer cut him down

I did not feel blue

Cancer cancer it’s so good for you

Cancer cancer it’s so good for you

Cancer it will set you free

The big C was like the cavalry

When he was on his deathbed

One day for a joke

Me and auntie Mary

Fun at him we poked

As he lay there

In his abject pain

Me and auntie Mary

We sung him this refrain

Cancer cancer it’s so good for you...

When he died

Later that same day

Me and auntie Mary

For him didn’t pray

But sometimes on a winter’s night

Though he has been long gone

Me and auntie Mary

Still sing the same song

Cancer cancer it’s so good for you...
