AWillie the Wimp was buried today
AThey laid him to rest in a special way
DSent him off in the finest style
AThat casket-mobile really drove 'em wild
E7#9Southside Chicago will think of him often
ATalkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
AWillie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
AThat casket, it looked like a fine Seville
AHe had a vanity license and a Cadillac grille
DWillie was propped up in the driver's seat
AHe had diamonds on his fingers and a smile sweet
E7#9Fine red suit had the whole town talkin'
AWillie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
AYeah Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
AIn his Cadillac to Heaven he was wavin' the banner
AHe left like he lived, in a lively manner
DWith a-hundred dollar bills in his fingers tight
AHe had flowers for wheels and a-flashin' headlights
E7#9He been wishin' for wings, no way he was walkin'
ATalkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
AYeah, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
AWillie the Wimp....
AHis Cadillac coffin
AWillie the Wimp....
ACadillac coffin
AWillie the Wimp....
ACadillac coffin
