And through the town the pallbearers sing old songs
Of a beautiful and purple mountain
From every walk of life we've come to see the Last Great American
May I now present you the speaker
Friends he was a man of men, a man of gold
He had a how do you say ethical like sense
That's when the President started to giggle
Then the children gave the blessing
Though the service weren't half done
Each of them sued the other one
For the last great American
Mr. Reaches up and we bow our heads
He pulls the lid on down as his stone is read
Here lies our Merry the man with the heart so spent
That in this day and age is sick of living
And judges argue letters
Fabric comes undone
For every daughter every son
Of the Last Great American...
For every daughter every son
Of the Last Great American...
Mr. Merry cries in his coffin for days he says he can remember And through the town the pallbearers sing old songs Of a beautiful and purple mountain From every walk of life we've come to see the Last Great American May I now present you the speaker Friends he was a man of men, a man of gold He had a how do you say ethical like sense That's when the President started to giggle Then the children gave the blessing Though the service weren't half done Each of them sued the other one For the last great American Mr. Reaches up and we bow our heads He pulls the lid on down as his stone is read Here lies our Merry the man with the heart so spent That in this day and age is sick of living And judges argue letters Fabric comes undone For every daughter every son Of the Last Great American... For every daughter every son Of the Last Great American... Explain Request ×
