Good morning Mrs. Murray,

fancy seeing you again,

it really is an awful day,

it looks a lot like rain.

That's a lovely hat,

I don't think I've seen that before,

black is always very smart,

I wear it more and more.

Oh, good morning Vicar,

are you well. . .and Mrs.V,

it's good to see you both again,

you must be sick of me.

I thought that it went very well

on Monday for old John,

it was a lovely service,

I just can't believe he's gone.

It seems like only yesterday

we went to fish for newts

and he fell down the river bank

and filled his welly boots.

As for Dolly here today,

she got me my first date,

I remember shaking like a leaf,

he turned up late.

We were young and pretty

and the boys were very keen,

our lives were all before us then

but now, the best has been.

Still I mustn't grumble,

after all I'm getting on,

I'm glad that Mrs. Murray's here,

most of my friends have gone.

Here comes Dolly, look,

her name in flowers, that's so sweet,

I'll go back for sherry,

there'll be relatives to meet.

It'll pass an hour or two

and that will be a blessing,

Vicar, you must hurry,

you've deceased who need addressing.

Come now Mrs. Murray,

let us find ourselves a pew,

we don't want pushing to the back,

we want a decent view.

Pull your scarf around you,

'cause I want you healthy dear,

you're very precious to me,

you're the only one still here!
