Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Welcome to the life hereafter
Sleepless nights, eternal laughter
Buy the farm, push up some daisies
Then get down with us creepy crazies
[Verse 2]
(Hi, wanna come play with me?)
[Verse 3]
Frights du jour and daily nightmares
Ghoulish scares to raise your neck hairs
If you think it's too macabre
Follow the floating candelabra
[Verse 4]
But he ain't French and he can't croon
We did that in a beastly cartoon
She was a beauty
We'll never rest, we'll never cease
Till you finally rest in peace
[Verse 5]
You can fly and you can float
Or you can scream just like a goat
But to grant your endless wishes
First you must sleep down with the fishes
[Verse 6]
(Hey, hold on, I'm not sleepy)
[Verse 7]
Rain or snow, lightning or thunder
The party is down here six feet under
[Verse 8]
Trick or treat?
Take a smell of my feet
And give me something good to eat
[Verse 9]
You're all alone, but don't be scared
We've got your wake all pre-prepared
[Verse 10]
(Hi, I'm serving soup)
(It's a cream mock tortoise and a yummy red that pairs with rigor mortis)
[Verse 11]
It's all so dopey, I'm complaining
At least it's almost entertaining
[Verse 12]
(Your attention, please, restless spirits have halted our progress)
(Please remain seated in your doom buggy, and we will continue our tour momentarily)
[Verse 13]
(Oh, no, the only thing worse than being stuck in here with you)
(Is being stuck in here with them)
[Verse 14]
We tell jokes, I do tricks
With my deadly candlesticks
Come on now and lift your glass
Filled with poison sassafras
[Verse 15]
Sign your will, deed, and trust
'Cause it's time to bite the dust
Cash in your chips, we're not joking
Now's the time you should be croaking
[Verse 16]
You're so great, none can compare
No one has your savoir faire
It's time to turn your whole life story
Into a memento mori
[Verse 17]
Corpse by corpse and one by one
Until you shout, "My life is done"
So join us in this life hereafter
Sleepless nights, eternal laughter
Sleepless nights, eternal laughter
Sleepless nights, eternal laughter
Sleepless nights, eternal laughter
[Verse 18]
And now the greatest act of all
It's Gonzo's final curtain call
From the basement to the rafters
Join us in the great hereafter
You'll be great forever after
In our monstrous life hereafter
For our afterparty afterlife
[Verse 19]
Rest In Peace (RIP)
