Ain't It Grand to Be Blooming Well Dead 1932

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 19 Jul 2003

Lately there's nothing but
trouble, grief and strife,
there's not much attraction
about this blooming life,
Last night I dreamt
I was blinking well dead,
the day of the fun'ral
I jolly well said.

Look at the flowers,
blooming great orchids,
ain't it grand to be blooming well dead?
Look at the corfin,
blooming great handles,
ain't it grand to be blooming well dead?
I felt so happy to think that I'd popped off,
I said to a bloke with a nasty 'acking cough:
"Look at the black hearse
blooming great horses,
ain't it grand to be blooming well dead!

Look at the bearers, all in their frock coats,
ain't it grand to be blooming well dead?
Look at their tophats,
polished with Guiness,
ain't it grand to be blooming well dead?
Some people there were a praying for my soul,
I said: "It's the first time
that I've been off the dole,"
Look at the Doctor, all dress'd up to kill,
ain't it grand to be blooming well dead?

Look at the children, blooming excited,
ain't it grand to be blooming well dead?
Look at the neighbours, blooming delighted,
ain't it grand to be blooming well dead?
"Spend the insurance," I murmured for a lack,
"You know that I shan't be with you
on the way back!"
Look at the Misses blooming well laughing,
ain't it grand to be blooming well dead!
