The Startling Facts |
| In a series of events that led up |
| To the startling facts |
| Are coming back to haunt me |
| My friend Dale the young preacher told me |
| That he grandfather had died |
| And he wanted me to go |
| To the funeral with him, so I did |
| Not thinking that she would be there |
| The girl that I loved |
| That was to wed the undertaker |
| So when we got there |
| I was surprised to see her |
| And there was Dale’s dead grandfather |
| And there stood Laurie |
| Hanging coats for the guests |
| She looked so beautiful |
| I walked up to her and shook her hand |
| And I said, hi, how are you? |
| At the graveside services during the prayer |
| I looked up to look at her |
| And the undertaker popped me the finger |
| I never will forget |
| Such a striking predicament |
| The feeling of it |
| The body in the casket |
| The series of events that led up to it |
| The startling facts |
| Are coming back to me |
