D7 — (Spoken part)
My great grand father died this week.
I couldn't stand him actually nobody could.
But as soon as he passed away everybody went around saying what a top bloke he was, so..
I'd like to dedicate this song to you, 'Gramps'.
G Em
He was very hard of hearing,
G Em
he was dull and domineering,
G Em D
misogynist cantankerous and vain.
C D
He hit the bottle every night,
G Em
he hit my grandma out of spite,
C D
and those stories about his bunions were a pain.
C D
But all that's now forgotten,
G Em
once he took his final breath.
C D G
Yes even pricks turn into top blokes after death.
C D G Em — (Spoken part)
You don't believe me?
C D — (Spoken part)
Allow me to furnish you with a few examples..
G Em
Steve Irwin lived in khaki,
G Em
a cartoon kamikaze,
G Em D
who taunted crocs and talked so frequently.
C D
And Brocky was some revhead,
G Em
who pumped the air with pure lead,
C D
so anti green he drove into a tree.
C D
But all that was forgotten,
G Em
once they took their final breath.
C D G
Yes even tools turn into top blokes after death.
G Em
John Lennon chose the hippy life,
G Em
he chose some nutbag for a wife,
G Em D
and his songs were never quite as good as Paul's.
C D
Jeff Buckley fooled all lovers,
G Em
just one album, mostly covers,
C D
more wailing than Japan does off our shores.
C D
But all that was forgotten,
G Em
once he took his final breath,
C D G
yes even wankers turn into top blokes after death.
G Em
Princess Di was just a slut for sex,
G Em
when they looked in the car wreck,
G Em D
her dress was wet with Arab's semen stain.
C D
Stan Zemanek was a racist jock,
G Em
a fatso xenophobic cock,
C D
whose views were more malignant than his brain.
C D
But all that was forgotten,
G Em
once he took his final breath,
C D G
yes even arseholes turn into top blokes after death.
C D G Em — (spoken part)
It's not how they lived that counts,
but how we rewrite the book.
C D — (spoken part)
When it comes to truth it's best to use restraint,
C D G Em — (spoken part)
It pays to throw away the facts
and have a rose coloured look.
C D — (spoken part)
When he dies, Martin Bryant will look a saint.
G Em
Don Bradman was a total farce,
G Em
a grumpy, greedy tired—arse,
G Em D
who couldn't even score one run last time he played.
C D
Kerry Packer was a brothel chief,
G Em
a tax cheat and a kidney thief.
C D
and procreating Jamie was the worst mistake he made.
C D
But all that was forgotten,
G Em
once he took his final breath,
C D G
yes even **** (censored) turn into top blokes after death.
G
Belinda Emmett was a (stopped by cast)
C D
Remember all will be forgotten,
G Em
once we take our final breath..
C
yes even pervert motherf**kers,
C
even rampant child—abusers,
C
even local Baghdad looters,
C
even baby bunny rooters,
C
even reckless drunken drivers,
C
even rodent sperm imbibers,
C
even violent poofter bashers,
C
even public penis flashers,
C
even rotting corpse molesters,
C
even human piss ingesters,
C
even tiny kitten kickers,
C
even anal finger lickers,
G Em
even Anna 'bloody' Coren,
C D G
yes even she will be a top bloke after death.
