Lyrics

Jamie, was a friend of mine He was 25, when he died He was 25, when he died And he'd hate me but I get angry I wish my friend were still alive, oh lord Oh I wish my friend were still alive And when he died Oh they took him to his grave And they carried him there On the back of a parade On the back of a parade And when he died They sent his spirit to the sky Thеn he came back down with a piano in his mouth A piano in his mouth Oh Dezziе was a friend of mine She's a mermaid now, mama She's a mermaid now mhmm In the morning It gets lonely Oh I wish my friends were still alive Oh I wish my friends were still alive And when she died Oh they took her to a grave And they carried her there On the back of a parade On the back of a parade And when he died They sent her spirit to the sky Then it came back down with a piano in her mouth A piano in her mouth And when they died Oh they took 'em to their grave And they carried them there On the back of a parade On the back of a parade And when they died They sent their spirits to the sky Then they came back down with a piano in their mouths A piano in their mouths And the music did come out The piano in their mouths [choir voices] Oh Jamie, was a friend of mine He was 25 when he died, oh lord And I wish my friend were still alive
