Grave Situation Pt. 1 |
Well here’s a little story about a woman that I knew. |
It’s no allegory, I guarantee it’s all quite true. |
So I expect you to believe me, though you won’t believe your ears. |
Pay attention: listen up, though you may tremble with fear. |
You see this woman that I spoke of had a quarrel with her lover. |
It seems she had discovered he’d been sleeping with another |
and it was on this very spot in June of 1987 |
fought and then he shot her and she died and went to heaven. |
Or at least that’s what the priest said as he read the funeral rights |
but something strange was going on amongst the tombstones that night. |
Just when everybody thought her immortal soul was saved |
we were quite concerned to see that she had risen from the grave |
She said, «aloha, i’m back, I’ve got some business to do. |
I’ll be back in my casket before the night is through, |
but first I’ll pay a visit to a certain prison cell |
to see my cheating husband and send him straight to hell.» |
We were speechless as she left us to find the fiend she’d married |
until someone said, «She's looking good for a girl that’s just been married. |
But you know we ought to stop her. |
Should we call up the police?» |
I said, «She's the living dead. |
They can do as they please.» |
Besides, she was heading straight for the station house herself, |
where her husband was awaiting trial in a holding cell. |
The sergeant was surprised to see a corpse walk through the door, |
but he said, «Sorry ma’am, visiting hours are 2: 00 to 4: 00.» |
She laughed and said, «I'm dead and I don’t have all day, |
so if you’d kindly stand aside and show me the way…» |
And the Sergeant said, «Okay then, he’s in cell number six.» |
«Besides,» he thought, «I really don’t get paid enough for this.» |
He was sleeping on his cot when she came into the cell |
and ever since the murder he had not slept very well. |
When he opened up his eyes at first he thought it was a dream, |
but she began to speak before he had a chance to scream. |
«Aloha, I’m back, I’ve got some business to do. |
I’ll be back in my casket before the night is through. |
But first I’ll make you pay for your cheating and your lies |
so honey… prepare to die.» |
Some say it was a heart attack, some say it was a stroke, |
and some will say the whole thing was invented just as a joke |
but I tell you it’s a fact, it all happened right here. |
When he saw his undead wife he simply died of fear. |
«Aloha, I’m back, I’ve got some business to do. |
I’ll be back in my casket before the night is through. |
But first I’ll pay a visit to a certain prison cell |
and see my cheating husband and send him straight to hell.» |
