National Embalming School

See the hearse go rolling by,
National Embalming School

Chorus:
For you we live,
For us you die,
National Embalming School

We dig a hole into the crust,
We throw you in, you turn to dust.

Chorus:

Post mortem, post mortem, post mortem,

It must be out of season.
Snap, crackle, pop,
The bones are breaking.

Chorus:
