Rest In Peace Songtext
von Chad & Jeremy

"The time has come", The walrus said, "To talk of many things"
Of shoes, and ships, and sealing wax
Of cabbages, and kings

Huh, huh, huh, uh
Aah, aah
Huh, huh, huh, huh

My name, it is Matthews, and I′ve got it made
A memorial maker, it's a profitable trade

I don′t solicit business, there's no point in trying
What I like about my customers, they just keep on dying

Here lies Frederick, mourned by his wife
He lead a blameless life
He couldn't win the way she treated him
His gravestone should have read
"Here lies Fred, he′s better off dead"

Rest in peace, ah
Rest in peace

My name, it is Matthews, and I′ve got it made
A memorial maker, it's a profitable trade


They bring the names of husbands, they bring the names of wives
They want me to perpetuate their awful, dreary lives

"Here lies John, run over by a bus
He was loved by all of us"
His time on earth, what was it worth?
When all is said, and done?
"Here lies John, we′re rather glad he's gone"

Rest in peace, ah
Rest in peace

They come to me, and spend all they′ve got
'Cause, it costs quite a lot, to be remembered
They think it is the only way
What would the neighbors say, anyway?
It′s so prestigious, even though you're not religious

Maybe, one day I will carve a stone, big enough for everyone
And written there, for those who care
In letters ten feet high
"Here they lie, who were born to die"

Rest in peace, ah
Rest in peace, ah


Rest in peace (rest in peace)
Rest in peace, rest now, my friends
It's the end!
Rest in peace (rest in peace)
Rest now, my friends
It′s the end!

My name, it is Matthews, and I′ve got it made
A memorial maker, it's a profitable trade
