To my dear, dear mother I leave my only shoes To my dear, dear mother I leave my only shoes By the time you read this I will have died of the blues Scream little choo-choo Bang your xylophone track Scream little choo-choo Bang your xylophone track You can wail all night long But you can't bring her back Bring her back Can't bring her back Bring her back Can't bring her back Bring her back Can't bring her back I've done so much crying The flesh has left my bones I've done so much crying The flesh has left my bones I can play my ribcage Like a xylophone
