Got to the car park of the cemetery
The cardboard coffin and my family
We walk it in and lay it down
Pandemic seating with too much space around
A year ago we didn't have a clue
About what we would all be going through
The music starts and we take it in
His boxed-up body, so cold and thin
He used to set the mood and atmosphere
I suppose that's what he's doing here
His last laugh before we say goodbye
The man who said he didn't want to die
We walk it in and lay it down
Pandemic seating with too much space around
A year ago we didn't have a clue

His boxed-up body, so cold and thin
He used to set the mood and atmosphere
I suppose that's what he's doing here
His last laugh before we say goodbye
