[00:11.56]Hey! Give me a listen you corpses of cheer
[00:15.06]At least those of you who still got an ear
[00:17.84]I'll tell you a story that'll make a skeleton cry
[00:21.20]Of our own jubiliciously lovely corpse bride
[00:24.12]Die, die we all pass away
[00:27.05]But don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay
[00:30.02]And you might try and hide
[00:31.38]And you might try and pray
[00:32.90]But we all end up the remains of the day
[00:35.68]Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (that's right)
[00:39.24]Yeah yeah yeah
[00:41.68]Well our girl is a beauty known for miles around
[00:44.93]When a mysterious stranger came into town
[00:47.88]He's plenty good-looking, but down on his cash
[00:51.14]And our poor little baby, she fell hard and fast
[00:53.98]When her daddy said no, she just couldn't cope
[00:57.09]So our lovers came up with a plan to elope
[00:59.79]Die, die we all pass away
[01:02.91]But don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay
[01:06.21]And you might try and hide
[01:07.62]And you might try and pray
[01:08.93]But we all end up the remains of the day
[01:11.78]Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[01:15.07]Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[01:18.04]Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[01:21.14]Yeah yeah yeah
[01:24.80](Oh, that's right.
[01:29.56]Okay. Oh, yeah.
[01:32.69]Come on, boys, pick it up
[01:34.04]Yeah. Like it.
[01:38.08]Okay, Chancy, take it.
[01:39.93]Yeah. Yeah! That's nice
[02:00.94]Yeah!)
[02:03.09]So they conjured up a plan to meet late at night
[02:05.81]They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight
[02:08.50]Now, her mother's wedding dress fit like a glove
[02:11.31]You don't need much when you're really in love
[02:13.76]Except for a few things, or some told
[02:16.53]Like the family jewels and a satchel of gold
[02:19.03]Then next to the graveyard by the old oak tree
[02:21.86]On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three
[02:24.28]She was ready to go, but where was he?
[02:28.54]And then?
[02:29.75]She waited
[02:31.17]And then?
[02:32.46]There in the shadows, was it her man?
[02:34.07]And then?
[02:35.30]Her little heart beat so loud
[02:36.99]And then?
[02:38.32]And then baby, everything went black
[02:42.82]Now when she opened her eyes she was dead as dust
[02:46.37]Her jewels were missing and her heart was bust
[02:49.20]So she made a vow lying under that tree
[02:52.21]That she'd wait for her true love to come set her free
[02:55.55]Always waiting for someone to ask for her hand
[02:58.39]When out of the blue comes this groovy young man
[03:01.56]Who vows forever to be by her side
[03:04.52]And that's the story of our own corpse bride
[03:08.43]Die, die we all pass away
[03:10.47]But don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay
[03:13.22]And you might try and hide
[03:14.77]And you might try and pray
[03:16.17]But we all end up the remains of the day
[03:18.99]
