WHY BUILD A WALL 'ROUND A GRAVEYARD? (Leslie Sarony) Leslie Sarony Also recorded by: Roy Fox & His Band Billy Baxter & His Carnaby Street Vaudeville Band Here's a contortionist, Filleted Pete Tried only too well to make both his ends meet Charlie the taximan lies over there Wherever he's gone to, he'll say it's "No Fare" Here lies a heavyweight under the ground With a circular saw only lasted one round Here lies a butcher named Timothy Wights A nice piece of skirt quickly put out his lights R - I - P, that's another good feller gone west R - I - P, with a blinkin' great slab on his chest So...... Why build a wall 'round a graveyard When nobody wants to get in? Why build a wall round a graveyard When nobody wants to get out? They say its a beautiful haven of rest But you know that you'll be a permanent guest So, why build a wall round a graveyard When nobody wants to get in? Why build a wall round a graveyard When no body wants to get in? Why build a wall round a graveyard When no body wants to get out? "You're not dead but sleeping", they put it with care But no body calls you at nine o'clock there So, why build a wall round a graveyard When no body wants to get out?
