Gonna be a Emrumble Gout on the promCenGade
and the Emgamblin' commGission's hangin' on by the sCkin of its Dteeth
CHORUS
Well now eEmverything Gdies baby Cthat's a Gfact
But maybe Emeverything that dGies somedaCy comes Gback

And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus

So honey last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him
Chorus (same as other chorus)

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your hair up nice and fix your hair up pretty
