Paragraph Lyric
Mr. merry cries in his coffin
For days he says he can remember
And through the town the pallbearers sing old songs
Of a beautiful purple mountain
From every walk of life we've come to see the last great American

May I now present you the speaker,
friends he was a man of men, a man of gold
He had a how do you say, ethical like sense
Thats when the president started to giggle
And the children gave the blessing
Though the service weren't half done
Each of them sued the other one
For the last great American

Merry reaches up, we bow our heads
He pulls the lid on down and his stone is read

Here lies our merry
The man with the heart so spent
That in this day and age
Is sick of living

And judges argue letters
Fabric comes undone
For every daughter every son
Of the last great American

For every daughter every son
Of the last great american
Mr. merry cries in his coffin   For days he says he can remember   And through the town the pallbearers sing old songs   Of a beautiful purple mountain   From every walk of life we've come to see the last great American      May I now present you the speaker,   friends he was a man of men, a man of gold   He had a how do you say, ethical like sense   Thats when the president started to giggle   And the children gave the blessing   Though the service weren't half done   Each of them sued the other one   For the last great American      Merry reaches up, we bow our heads   He pulls the lid on down and his stone is read      Here lies our merry   The man with the heart so spent   That in this day and age   Is sick of living      And judges argue letters   Fabric comes undone   For every daughter every son   Of the last great American      For every daughter every son   Of the last great american
