Corpse Bride Soundtrack Lyrics: Remains of the Day

BONEJANGLES
Hey! Give me a listen you corpses of cheerLeastles of you who still got an earI'll tell you a story make a skeleton cryOf our own jubiliciously lovely corpse bride
BONE BOYS
Die, die we all pass awayBut don't wear a frown cuz it's really okayAnd you might try 'n' hideAnd you might try 'n' prayBut we all end up the remains of the dayYeah yeah yeah yeah yeahYeah yeah yeah
BONEJANGLES
Well our girl is a beauty known for miles aroundWhen a mysterious stranger came into townHe's plenty good lookin', but down on his cashAnd our poor little baby, she fell hard and fastWhen her daddy said no, she just couldn't copeSo our lovers came up with a plan to elope
BONE BOYS
Die, die we all pass awayBut don't wear a frown cuz it's really okayAnd you might try 'n' hideAnd you might try 'n' prayBut we all end up the remains of the dayYeah yeah yeah yeah yeahYeah yeah yeah yeah yeahYeah yeah yeah yeah yeahYeah yeah yeah(instrumental)
BONEJANGLES
So they conjured up a plan to meet late at nightThey told not a sould, kept the whole thing tightNow her mother's wedding dress fit like a gloveYou don't need much when you're really in loveExcept for a few things, or so I'm toldLike the family jewls and a sachel of goldThen next to the grave yard by the old oak treeOn a dark foggy night at a quarter to threeShe was ready to go, but where was he
BONE BOYS
And then?
BONEJANGLES
She waited
BONE BOYS
And then?
BONEJANGLES
There in the shadows, was it the man?
BONE BOYS
And then?
BONEJANGLES
Het little heart beat so loud
BONEBOYS
And then?
BONEJANGLES
And then baby, everything went black
Now when she opened her eyes she was dead as dustHer jewls were missin' and her heart was bustSo she made a vow lyin' under that treeThat she'd wait for her true love to come set her freeAlways waiting for someone to ask for her handWhen out of the blue comes this groovy young manWho vows forever to be by her sideAnd that's the story of our own corpse bride
