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
