Hal Willner - Fancy Funeral lyrics

Some think a fancy funeral Would be worth every cent For every dime and nickel There's money better spent Better spent on groceries And covering the bills Instead of little luxuries And unnecessary frills Lovely yellow daffodils And lacy filigree Pretty little angels For everyone to see Lilly of the valley Long black limousines It's three or four months' salary Just to pay for all those things So don't buy a fancy funeral It's not worth it in the end Goodbyes can still be beautiful With all the money that you'll spend 'Cause no amount of riches Can bring back what you've lost To satisfy your wishes You'll never justify the cost
