Subject: RE: Getting older:
Joe, Thanks, I didn't even look for it. Here's the version that I know....
Last night I dreamt that I was bloomin' well dead As I went to me funeral I bloomin' well said Look at the coffin, bloomin' great handles Ain't it grand, to be blooming well dead Look at the altar, blooming great candles Ain't it grand, to be blooming well dead
I felt so happy to think that I'd popped off I said to a bloke with a nasty hacking cough Look at the flowers, blooming great orchids, Ain't it grand, to be blooming well dead Look at the black hearse, blooming great 'orses Ain't it grand, to be blooming well dead
There was another verse or two that I don't remember, something about "look at the Missus, blooming well cryin'"
