Capo I

                                               
Some think a fancy funeral will be worth every cent
                                          
But every dime or nickel is money better spent
                                          
Better spent on groceries or covering the bills
                                          
Instead of little luxuries and unnecessary frills

                                        
Lovely yellow daffodils and lacy pillow fringe
                                    
Pretty little angels for everyone to see
                                   
Lily of the valley and long black limousines
                                                            
It's three or four months' salaries just to pay for all those things

(Solo)

                                                       
So don't buy a fancy funeral, it's not worth it in the end
                                                           
Goodbyes can still be beautiful without the money that you spend
                                                           
There's no amount of riches that will bring back what you've lost
                               (NC)         
To satisfy your wishes, no way to justify the cost
