Lyrics
If Saturday, ooh if Saturday ever comes...
Where will I be, this time next week?
Oh if Saturday ever comes?
Nurses pull the screens
and then unplug machines
at the bed where your brother lies,
where your brother lies,
where your brother lies,
Oh if Saturday,
Oh if Saturday ever comes, where will I be?
Winter branches high
ah watery sky
and... here am I...
There’s a casket draped red, white and blue
let this procession be a lesson for you
There’s a passing bell tolling the knell
and an urn awaiting your turn
There’s a boneyard stuffed to overflow
Rest assured!
They’ll always find room for you.
