The Lament of Desmond R.G. Underwood-Frederick IV Lyrics
[00:14.12] Ah, the news of my impending death
[00:17.93] Came at a really bad time for me
[00:21.25] Yeah, the news of my impending death
[00:25.23] Any other day might have been okay
[00:28.27] I was starting to track with my inner guide
[00:31.80] I was getting in touch with my feminine side
[00:35.70] But when the doctor starts whistling "Happy Trails"
[00:39.76] Tends to knock a bit of wind out of the old sails
[00:43.38] Desi Ray, if I may, be so blunt
[00:46.80] Galahad, bag your agnostic front
[00:50.26] Underwood, hire a good undertaker
[00:53.95] Freddie, get ready to meet your maker
[01:04.34] Ah, the news my impending death
[01:08.35] Came at a really bad time for me
[01:11.74] I was far too young to depreciate
[01:15.38] When they read me my expiration date
[01:18.64] I'd built Iron Man stalls in the northern wild
[01:22.61] I'd played Cabbage Patch dolls with my inner child
[01:26.37] Now I'm getting sealed bids for a granite vault
[01:29.72] And I'm pretty sure this is my parents' fault
[01:33.73] Desi Ray, if I may, be so blunt
[01:37.34] Galahad, bag your agnostic front
[01:41.06] Underwood, hire a good undertaker
[01:44.87] Freddie, get ready to meet your maker
[02:20.19] Ah, the news my impending death
[02:23.79] Came at a really bad time for me
[02:27.42] When they cancel your breathing policy
[02:31.43] Tends to steal a bit of the old joie de vivre
[02:34.88] I'd just found the lost key to my mythic life
[02:38.09] So I bravely shook free of my kids and wife
[02:41.40] I had seminars booked as a second career
[02:45.10] Until a still, small voice screamed loud and clear
[02:49.46] Desi Ray, if I may, be so blunt
[02:53.14] Galahad, bag your agnostic front
[02:56.86] Underwood, hire a good undertaker
[03:00.13] Freddie, get ready to meet your maker
[03:04.16] Desi Ray, if I may, be so blunt
[03:07.85] Galahad, bag your agnostic front
[03:11.18] Underwood, hire a good undertaker
[03:14.87] Freddie, get ready to meet your maker
[03:18.96]
[00:17.93] Came at a really bad time for me
