John, here are the lyrics as I remember them. I do know the tune, but how to sing it over email? I'd love to hear the Billy Connelly version. Regards Maureen

Teenage Cremation
(Bob Hudson)

Riding on my motorbike down highway one
Going pretty fast, doing the ton
You stuck out your left hand and I turned to the right
Oh Lordy, Lordy, why can't I hold you tight.

It was a teenage cremation, oh how I cried when you died
Who ho, oh how I cried when you died.

We was going very fast when we crashed into a lorry (truck)
The driver stuck his head out and said that he was sorry (and all he said was f...)
We crashed into a trolley bus and then into the next
You even wrecked the motorbike tattooed on your neck.

It was a teenage cremation, oh how I cried when you fried
Who ho, oh how I cried when you fried.

Rookwood cremation was where we said goodbye
I stood outside the furnace door and listened to you fry
And when that it was over, my heart was sick and sore
I couldn't find the piece of you that I was looking for.

It was a teenage cremation, oh how I cried when you died
Who ho, oh how you smelt when you melt.
