Remember when we got the news
C#dom7
Confirming our worst fears
I said he wouldnât make it six months
And others gave him a year
And sure enough last Saturday
C#dom7
We paid our last respects
He left us here still in this life
And heâs gone on to the next
Iâd never seen him wear a tie
But he looked so natural, almost lifelike
The preacher spoke, his mother cried
When he said âSon, you may now kiss the brideâ
Everyone cheered, I thought how odd
I didnât understand
Why with champagne and cake we celebrate
The death of a single man
So many flowers, he was so loved
Prior to the bride
As a matter of fact
The maid of honor should be disqualified
To all his friends, itâs a wake-up call
If it happened to him
It can happen to us all
Nothing says itâs over man
Like a bad 80âs cover band
How can we dance to My Sharona
At the death of a single man
He was so young
So full of dreams
Before the day he fell
Now heâs gone on to a better place
Or possibly to hell
Now here we are, seems so unfair
Itâs poker night and thereâs one empty chair
So many things weâre gonna miss
His happy smile and that great laugh of his
I think of him in the afterwife, life
I guess all good things must end
So with Jack and e, weâll make a toast
To the death of a single man
