lyrics

He bought a facelift with the lump sum
Made him smile like a dachshund
None of the ladies found him fetching
If they could only see his lump sum

He's going to spend it on them
The wait now is weighing him down
It's not like it's an ill-gotten gain
Lump sum da, da, da, da

Try and buy a sense of humour with your lump sum
Try and shrink that tumour with your lump sum
Has life added up to this?

Does he have enough to make up for
Time he spent being frugal and poor?
Facing bald facts, he needs new friends
They won't care if he has hair or not
They're going to come around
And stick around 'til he's in the ground
He's going, he's going to waste it on them
Like he's never had money before

With my naked eye
I could see the red in Jupiter
Every earthling needs our lump sum

Here lies a lump sum of existence
The gravedigger will not wash his hands
The vicar's forgotten your surname
It's good the widow has still got blood in her veins
She can laugh over the trifle
Making plans to drink sherry in Spain
There's no way to add up a lump sum
For that figure will not appear again
