Subject: Death

In my first life I was Joan of Arc's second favorite cousin
A pleasant peasant country girl, I fucked 'em by the dozen
I got caught in a witch's roundup and they burnt me at the stake
I was scared to death of death back then, Hell, everybody makes mistakes
	
	Chorus:
	Hello Death! (hello Death), Hello Death! (hello Death)
	You've got me in a hell of a spin (hell of a spin)
	Hold on, hey, let me catch my breath (breathe)
	I'd love to dance again, come on in

In my next life, well, I found that they had moved me up the latter
Still living off the fat of the land, but this time slightly fatter
I stole the neighbor's pig, surprise! It had trichinosis
A raw hog recipe is a fatal diagnosis

Chorus

Well, next I caught the Bubonic Plague (heck -- everrybody did)
I lost my head to Antoinette, I walked the plank with Captain Kidd
I crashed the Donner party, I took a spin a Ghandi
I guess by now I oughtta know Death's modus operandi

Chorus

In my next life I'll be Captain Zorg, a visitor from Mars
Or maybe Captain Muscatel, and hang around in bars
If I come back as a Buddhist monk, I'll learn how to be patient
If I come back as a flower, it's just reinCARNATION

Chorus

(bye bye, see you next life!)
