The Town Pants - Mr Valentine’s Dead
GMr. VaClenGtine's dead, and he's drinking Manhattans,
singing a coal miner's tune.D  
In his dGaddyC's Gtuxedo and Fred Astaire shoes,
He's the best looking corpse iDn the rGoom.
GMr. VaClenGtine's dead, and the angels are waiting
down at the end of Dthe bar.
They're GdrinCkinGg martinis and laughing at nothing,
smoking Habana cigaDrs.
GHave yEmou ever seen dead men dancing so lightly?
Have you ever hGeard corDpses who sing?
Mr. ValeGntine's dCead and the angels will take him,
But not GtiDll heG's finished his drink!
GMr. VaClenGtine's dead, but it won't slow him down.
He's determined to stay on hDis feet.
And he bGangs Con Gthe table and orders a round,
and he pays with the gold in hDis teetGh.
GHave yEmou ever seen dead men dancing so lightly?
Have you ever hGeard corDpses who sing?
Mr. ValeGntine's dCead and the angels will take him,
But not GtiDll heG's finished his drink!
GMr. VaClenGtine's dead, and he's singing in Spanish,
wearing a rose in Dhis hair.
GNow thCe aGngels are howling and drinking tequila,
shooting their guDns in the air.
GHave yEmou ever seen dead men dancing so lightly?
Have you ever hGeard corDpses who sing?
Mr. ValeGntine's dCead and the angels will take him,
But not GtiDll heG's finished his drink!
GMr. VaClenGtine's dead, but he still loves a party.
He's always the last one to Dleave.
GHe hanCgs Gdown his head and he cries like a baby
when the band plays GoodnigDht Irene.
GHave yEmou ever seen dead men dancing so lightly?
Have you ever hGeard corDpses who sing?
Mr. ValeGntine's dCead and the angels will take him,
But not GtiDll heG's finished his drink!
GMr. VaClenGtine's dead, but he never looked better!
The priest will meet him tonDight.
GTell hCis Gmom to stop crying and the band to keep playing,
'cause the angels are too drDunk to fly!
GHave yEmou ever seen dead men dancing so lightly?
Have you ever hGeard corDpses who sing?
Mr. ValeGntine's dCead and the angels will take him,
But not GtiDll heG's finished his drink!
