Oh... 
I have been smashed again 
With the men from the 
Old Valhalla Road Crematorium 
Boring men with the same old patter 

I am a simple man 
Not much to gain or lose 
And I don't know why I held out 
So long for me and you 

Until he drew 
A swallow on my neck 
And more, I will not say 
He drew 
A swallow, deep and blue 
And soon, everyone knew 

Then I was wrecked again 
With the men full of bluff and ardor 
From a well-known funeral parlor 

I am a simple man 
Not much to gain or lose 
Older and wiser 
Never applies to me 

And so he drew 
A swallow on my neck 
And more, I will not say 
He drew 
A swallow, deep and blue 
And soon, everyone knew 

Aah... 
Oh... 

You have been telling me 
That I have been 
Acting childish 
Foolish, ghoulish and childish 
Oh, I know, I know, I know ! 
I know, I know, I know 
But I don't mind 
I don't mind 
I don't mind 

Ah... 
I don't mind 
Ah...
