The Undertakers Ball lyrics
Welcome specially invited one and all
Welcome indeed to The Undertakers Ball
Guests arrive in darkened limousines
And are escorted in quick and unseen
Bodyguards stand rigid outside the door
Everyone knows what they’ve come here for
Everyone is there from big to small
They all come to The Undertakers Ball
No matter what their size or their age
They’ll all be found at this masquerade
There’s cheese pizza as much as you can take
And stuff to keep you up and awake
The Grand Master with his Southern drawl
Presiding over The Undertakers Ball
Everyone’s in disguise with a mask
You wonder who they are, don’t dare ask
They’ll snuff you out like a naked flame
If you come here, you must play the game
There’s Jeff, he’s the Wall Street king
He’s good at fixing rings
And George with the orphaned kids
Can never recall what he did
Soon the darkened buses arrive
Full of innocent faces inside
Soon the sharks start their feeding frenzy
And have their meat two for a penny
The rich and powerful having fun
If you knew what they did you’d be stunned
Hoping for that day when they will fall
But it won’t help those at The Undertakers Ball
Some have pleasure some have pain
Some will never be seen again
All is hidden behind white walls
So many mourners at The Undertakers Ball
So many mourners at The Undertakers Ball
