wednesday morning   my aunt sarah died   not many had known her   not many had tried   and there at the funeral   we all sat and lied   and said how much we missed her      you wanna know about sarah   where do i begin   she had this growth   to the left of her chin   let's all be honest she was ugly as sin   no one recalled having kissed her      but the choir sang   and the family wept   the preacher preached   and the children slept   we all wore black   and we paid our respects   all in all it was a very fine funeral      we stood at the grave   for a minute or two   straight-faced and solemn   like good mourners do   but we all felt relief   when we heard uncle lou   stand and say that's enough i'm freezin      sarah was never the neighborly kind   sure she had a mean streak ten miles wide   but the truth was she smelled   just like something died   now she's got a reason      chorus
