The Richest Guy In The Graveyard - Etta Jones[00:00:00]

Woke up this morning was a fine sunny day[00:00:12]

I said daddy please stay but he had to run away[00:00:17]

Cause he was busy busy makin' lots of gold[00:00:21]

So I told him better have some fun before you're old[00:00:31]

You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard[00:00:41]

With money in the bank[00:00:48]

You'll be the fattest cat[00:00:52]

Who's stretched out flat[00:00:55]

You'll have yourself to thank[00:00:59]

Now what's the good of earnin'[00:01:03]

With no time for spendin'[00:01:06]

You know you're simply headed[00:01:09]

For a horizontal endin'[00:01:11]

The richest guy in the graveyard[00:01:14]

So daddy won't you please slow down[00:01:19]

You'll climb the golden gate to the graveyard[00:01:24]

That gate is not so great[00:01:30]

You'll be the sleepiest creep[00:01:34]

Who's six feet deep[00:01:38]

You'll find it out too late[00:01:41]

I can't imagine how you can be a good lover[00:01:46]

All wrapped around in brown[00:01:51]

With a five-ply cover[00:01:54]

So take my tip and don't work hard[00:01:56]

Then you'll delay that graveyard drive[00:02:02]

You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard[00:02:07]

Now just you wait and see[00:02:13]

You'll be the honest goon[00:02:17]

Who ever went too soon[00:02:21]

That ain't no use to me[00:02:24]

I'd rather be found[00:02:29]

On a flophouse bed[00:02:31]

Then down in the ground[00:02:34]

With dirt on my head[00:02:37]

You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard[00:02:39]

So daddy won't you hear my please[00:02:46]

Do me a favor and please[00:02:49]

Make out the will to me[00:02:51]
