It's nice to be alive--When the dream comes trueYou'll be better off dead--It could happen to youOh! I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be deadI'd rather be dead than wet my bedI'd rather be dead--I'd rather be deadI'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed (Alright! Give yourselves a big hand!)[Clapping.] |
