Coffin car, she's riding a coffin car

People watching her with tender eyes

Friends whispering in kindly words

Children running, waving hands

Telling each other, how pretty she is

Coffin car, she likes to ride a coffin car

Friends making ways for the first time

People throwing kisses for the first time

Showering flowers, ringing bells

Telling each other, how nice she is

Coffin car, she's riding a coffin car

Wives showing tears for the first time

Husband taking their hats off for the first time

Crushing their handkerchiefs, rubbing their nose

Telling each other, how good she is

Half the world is dead anyway

The other half is asleep and life is killing her

Telling her to join the dead

So ev'ry day, she likes to ride a coffin car

A flower covered coffin car

Pretending she was dead
