Dividing The Estate (a Heart Attack)

A petal falls from a dying rose

Into the wind it blow to fate

While down below the ground

There grows another rose that can hardly wait

Well well well well

Well well well well

Well well well well

You know my uncle finally died of a heart attack

Bursting with pride he was way overweight

There was hardly anybody at the funeral

Besides the ones who thought they might divide the

estate

Well well well

The preacher couldn't tell us everything that he did

But he said every kind thing that he could

Mostly focusing on long ago when he was just a kid

And his intentions had all been so good

Well well well

A petal falls from a dying rose

Into the wind it blow to fate

While down below the ground

There grows another rose that can hardly wait

Well well well well

Well well well well

Well well well well

My mother said when he was younger

He was skinnier and kinder and funnier

And humble as a white picket fence

As he got older he got fatter

Left his wife for something younger

Started showing up here drunk

Making less and less sense

Less and less sense

A petal falls from a dying rose

Into the wind it blow to fate

While down below the ground

There grows another rose that can hardly wait

Uncle Sam finally died of a heart attack

He's bursting with pride way overweight

So through the eye of a needle on a camel's back

The American dream hits the pearly gate

Well well well well

Well well well well

Well well well well

Well well well well
