Dearly beloved we are gathered here today   To get through this thing called life, electric word life   That means forever and that's a mighty long time   But I'm here to tell you there's something else, the afterworld   A world of never ending happiness   You can always see the sun, day or night      So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills   You know the one, Dr. Everything'll be alright   Instead of asking him how much of your time is left   Ask him how much of your mind, baby   'Cause in this life things are much harder than in the afterworld   In this life you're on your own      And if the elevator tries to bring you down   Go crazy, punch a higher floor   If you don't like the world you're living in   Take a look around you, at least you got friends      You see I called my old lady for a friendly word   She picked up the phone, dropped it on the floor   Ah, ah, is all I heard      Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?   Oh no, let's go, let's go crazy, let's get nuts   Let's look for the purple banana till they put us in the truck, let's go      We're all excited but we don't know why   Maybe it's 'cause we're all gonna die   And when we do, yeah what's it all for?   You better live now before the grim reaper comes knocking on your door      Tell me, are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?   Oh, no let's go, let's go crazy, let's get nuts   Look for the purple banana til' they put us in the truck, let's go   C'mon baby, let's get nuts, yeah let's go crazy      Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?   Oh no, let's go, go crazy, let's go crazy   Let's go, let's go, let's go      Dr. Everything'll be alright   Gonna make everything go wrong   Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill   Hang tough children, he's come, he's come, he's come      Take me away
