Here's my transcription from Gulliver's sound file:

Now I come home last Friday night, collapsed upon the floor,
While the wife's out playing bingo with a man that lives next door.
The doctor came, examined me, then turned to her and said:
"It's a case of malnutrition. Very soon he will be dead."

Now the end is near. She's drawn the blinds and pulled the curtain.
She said, "You're sinkin', Pops, and now your heart's gone for a burden.
Your policy's paid up, and when the man comes round next Friday,
I'll just say, "Sid, a ripe (?) few quid, it's coming my way."

[By the way, I'm not familiar with the phrase "gone for a burden." I've found a few examples using Google, which suggest that it's some kind of quaint expression. Can anyone explain it?

[And I'm not sure about "ripe". It might be "right".]
