Lyrics
It's Great To Be A Mortician (Copyright 1992 Harry Petaccio)
It's great to be a mortician; the most agreeable people you meet.
A cadaver, sort of, beautician, whose techniques are awfully unique.
We start by making incisions, so bodily fluids can flow.
When this procedure is finished, on to the next step we must go.
We then embalm the body, to keep it from smelling bad.
Break a bone, maybe two, to get some clothes on you.
Add a smile so you don't look sad.
Your friends will say, it's a marvel. They never saw you look so good.
Then it's off to the family plot where you can begin to rot in your own neighborhood.
SPOKEN: Good afternoon Mrs. Jones. Looking for something special for someone close, very close?
I've got just the thing. Now listen carefully.
Please try our gift certificate to give to an ailing friend. Although it seems strange, a wake to prearrange,
It's the hottest trend.
If you don't like your casket after using it a year or more; we'll cheerfully buy it back, put it on our discount rack.
Here in the back of our store. It's great to be a mortician!
