Digging

Graverobbers better stay away
We’re laying Daddy to rest today
And it’s too soon for Momma to be dating a young man like you
Graverobbers better stay away
We’re clearing out his closets today
And it’s too soon to celebrate with all those bills left unpaid
Detective Sleuth, destroy the proof
To avoid the truth how Daddy fell off the roof
Graverobbers better stay away
We’re laying the pharaoh to rest today
And it’s too soon to excavate when th stones are still freshly laid
Gravrobbers better stay away
We’re embalming the body today
And it’s too soon to investigate the booby trap she had made
?? shuts its tomb, golden gems were strewn
All over the rooms till your boys came through
Gravedigger, better stay away
I’m not ready to die today
It’s too soon to anticipate the time or place or the date
Gravedigger, better stay away
I just got a glimpse of the light today
And it’s too soon to revelate when the path is still dim and gray
I need a minute!
I’ll need an hour!
To earn enough for the tickets for me and my brother, Howard
