A nephew once asked me when he was quite young
Who dies? I said, “Everyone dies”
No use denying it, one day you’re done
Oh, everyone dies

Princes and paupers there’s no one immune
And no one who’ll escape their demise
So you’d better make most of each day that you’re given
Oh, everyone dies

INSTRUMENTAL: (same as above 2 verses)

Now people have pondered this time and again
Who dies? Everyone dies
We suspect that we’re more than mere mortal remains
Oh, everyone dies

Wise men and prophets they’ve all had their say
On the nature of our afterlives
But in case there’s no beer there, we’ll have one more round
Oh, everyone dies

INSTRUMENTAL: (same as above 2 verses)

Now, your time may be short or your time may be long
Who dies? Everyone dies
But it’s going to happen as sure as you’re born
Oh, everyone dies

Friends and relations and all we hold dear
Will one day pass to the other side
So we’d better embrace them as long as they’re here
Oh, everyone dies
