Dearly departed we
Gather here solemnly
To describe how we feel
'Bout your suddenly passing
Stories of deeds that touch
Seem like a bit too much
Then they point to me hoping
For thoughts everlasting
Never, never, never know
Never, never, never know
Never, never, never know
Never, never, never know
Never, never, never know
Never, never, never know
Bummer
All of them prattle on
Even your widow yawns
You deserve something more
But they go through the motions
They have seen on TV
People of majesty
Who can sum up a life with a phrase
They don't know you
It's a bummer
It's a bummer
What a bummer
Bummer
We had eyes
On the same
Stunning thing
Both insane
All the time
I could see
It was you
Rest in peace
Bummer
Bummer
Bummer
Bummer
We had the best of times
All of those petty crimes
It all had to end with your vows
To be tasteful
What I said angrily
I should have kept to me
What I said to you both
It was primetime disgraceful
It's a bummer, it's a bummer
What a bummer, what a bummer
It's a bummer, it's a bummer
What a bummer, what a bummer
Quoting a Shakespeare line
Citing the Bible I'm not sure
That that fits
Anyway I am lazy
Don't worry, I will not try
Hitting on her, you're fine
I respect you enough
Though she still drives me crazy
It's a bummer
It's a bummer
What a bummer
Bummer
Some ol' fool says, Life goes on,
She is crushed that you're gone
Just a word says it all
Just a word, you hit that wall
(Never, never, never know)
(Never, never, never know)
(Never, never, never know)
(Never, never, never know)
(Never, never, never know)
(Never, never, never know)
(Never, never, never know)
(Never, never, never know)
It's a bummer, it's a bummer
What a bummer, what a bummer
It's a bummer, it's a bummer
What a bummer
Bummer
