lyrics

head full of booze
and the rest of me's a wreck
reaper's a-breathin' down
the back of my neck
hang on boys and girls
cuz we're going straight to heck
all your wishin' didn't get you
anywhere

hello my friends
i've come by to say farewell
it's been nice to know y'all
see y'all in hell
and when i get there rest assured
i'm gonna ring that there bell
to let the devil know i have arrived

tell me a story
about happier days
before the whole world was all
wild and crazed
it's full speed ahead
if you can tolerate the haze
keep on hoping
til the sky turns blue

hello my friends
i've come by to say farewell
it's been nice to know y'all
see y'all in hell
and when i get there rest assured
i'm gonna ring that there bell
to let the devil know i have arrived

pennies are spilling
out the mouth of the well
i'd wallow with the pigs
if i could tolerate the smell
i'll have my cake
and devour it as well
isn't life a beautiful trainwreck?

hello my friends
i've come by to say farewell
it's been nice to know y'all
see y'all in hell
and when i get there rest assured
i'm gonna ring that there bell
to let the devil know i have arrived
