D-DU-UDU
I  always  like to be  surprised
 I dont want to be told what happens after  I die
 Death is like a mystery gift wraped  up in a box
 sent from infinity and stamped  with question marks.
Everyone's  got theres and I've got  mine
 people shake it, weigh it, discuss  it all the time  .
 I tend to think theres nothing  at all in  it
 But its cool that I could find  out any minute
 And I whistle  past the graveyard  when I walk
 Cause I dont wanna hear  the corpses talk
 I dont wanna hear them grumble  and complain
 Or disscuss how much they want  to eat my brain
 and I always  kind of like to be  surprised
 I dont wanna be told what happens after  I die.
 no I dont wanna hear  the courpses talk
 so I whistle past the graveyard  when I walk
 Well if we lived for ever we'd realy want to find out
 But what a relief, we all die, so theres nothing to worry about
 Some say that life is empty, some say its meaningless
 And some say it isn't such a bad thing if it is
 and some say im wrong and that i'll go to hell
 But i'd be happy just knowing that there was a point so its just aswell
 some people assume that youll suffer there, they just think you're selfish
 if I was in hell id be glad knowing that other people are in heaven
 it'd make it no so hellish
 And I whistle past the graveyard when I walk
 Cause I dont wanna hear the corpses talk
 but I want black cats to cross my path and I pick up bad pennys
 and if theres monsters in my closet then come and get me
 and I always kind of like to be suprised
 I dont wanna be told what happens after I die.
 no I dont wanna hear the courpses talk
 so I whistle past the graveyard when I walk.
