about
In which we leave you with a music hall showtune for the dead. This song is not actually in D Major but the afterlife is no time to be nit-picking. There are, after all, far grander themes at stake here.
lyrics
Hello, hello,
Surprise!
Our lives endure
What do you know,
How nice,
Charmed, I’m sure
Now, where to go?
Reprise, once more, encore?
Up to the gods obscure
I’m pleading force majeure
Heaven above
Can wait another day
Push and a shove
And let’s be on our way
For every love
There will be hell to pay
Though there be hell to pay
I’d do it anyway
It takes a little bit of time to get you there
It takes a whole lot more of time just to keep you there
And what’s a little bit of time worth?
Beyond compare?
Am I a millionaire?
I’m a gazillionaire
My loves,
Lalalala! Lalalalalala!
Lalalala! Lalalalala!
It was a greasy chore and then, amen
Now it’s a beastly bore till who knows when
All for a measly, poor three-score-and-ten
Can we go round again?
(That’ll be the heyday then)
When we were freshly minted, shiny new
Strolling gaily down the avenue
Sailing ship-shape, top-drawer, ticketyboo
And then our time was through
(It’s a fine how-d’you-do)
It takes a little bit of time to get you there
It takes a whole lot more of time just to keep you there
So what’s a little bit of time worth?
Beyond compare?
Am I a millionaire?
I’m a gazillionaire
It takes a little bit of guile,
All good fortune too
It takes a little bit of style
To keep you smiling through
And what’s a little bitty smile worth to such as you?
Are we the lucky few
Or are we nothing new
My loves?
Truth and beauty, very nice, very nice
Going cheap at any price
Truth and beauty, very nice, very nice
Fast and cheap at any price
You know it takes
a little bit of time just to get you there
And for a whole lot more of time we’re gonna keep you there
So what’s a little bit of time worth?
Beyond compare?
Am I a millionaire?
I’m a gazillionaire
It takes a little bit of guile,
All good fortune too
It takes a little bit of style
To keep you smiling through
So what’s a little bitty smile now to such as you?
Are we the lucky few?
Or are we nothing new,
my loves?
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
And if a little bit of time’s worth beyond compare
Then I’m a millionaire,
(He’s a millionaire!)
Oh, I’m a millionaire
Infinitillionaire!
My loves
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
Now, I’m a millionaire
Infinitillionaire!
My loves
