[00:00.00]The Richest Guy in the Graveyard (Live) - Etta Jones
[00:12.00]Woke up this morning was a fine sunny day
[00:17.13]I said daddy please stay but he had to run away
[00:21.65]Cause he was busy busy makin' lots of gold
[00:31.59]So I told him better have some fun before you're old
[00:41.93]You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard
[00:48.63]With money in the bank
[00:52.58]You'll be the fattest cat
[00:55.84]Who's stretched out flat
[00:59.15]You'll have yourself to thank
[01:03.44]Now what's the good of earnin'
[01:06.45]With no time for spendin'
[01:09.06]You know you're simply headed
[01:11.50]For a horizontal endin'
[01:14.92]The richest guy in the graveyard
[01:19.91]So daddy won't you please slow down
[01:24.13]You'll climb the golden gate to the graveyard
[01:30.58]That gate is not so great
[01:34.78]You'll be the sleepiest creep
[01:38.19]Who's six feet deep
[01:41.48]You'll find it out too late
[01:46.48]I can't imagine how you can be a good lover
[01:51.41]All wrapped around in brown
[01:54.25]With a five-ply cover
[01:56.95]So take my tip and don't work hard
[02:02.82]Then you'll delay that graveyard drive
[02:07.09]You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard
[02:13.73]Now just you wait and see
[02:17.88]You'll be the honest goon
[02:21.28]Who ever went too soon
[02:24.60]That ain't no use to me
[02:29.30]I'd rather be found
[02:31.94]On a flophouse bed
[02:34.56]Then down in the ground
[02:37.29]With dirt on my head
[02:39.40]You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard
[02:46.04]So daddy won't you hear my please
[02:49.20]Do me a favor and please
[02:51.87]Make out the will to me
