The Startling Facts Lyrics
In a series of events that led up
To the startling facts
Are coming back to haunt me
My friend Dale the young preacher told me
That he grandfather had died
And he wanted me to go
To the funeral with him, so I did
Not thinking that she would be there
The girl that I loved,
That was to wed the undertaker
So when we got there
I was surprised to see her
And there was Dale's dead grandfather
And there stood Laurie
Hanging coats for the guests
She looked so beautiful
I walked up to her and shook her hand
And I said Hi how are you
At the graveside services during the prayer
I looked up to look at her
And the undertaker popped me the finger
I never will forget
Such a striking predicament
The feeling of it
The body in the casket
The series of events that led up to it
The startling facts
Are coming back to me
To the startling facts
Are coming back to haunt me
That he grandfather had died
And he wanted me to go
To the funeral with him, so I did
The girl that I loved,
That was to wed the undertaker
I was surprised to see her
And there stood Laurie
Hanging coats for the guests
She looked so beautiful
And I said Hi how are you
I looked up to look at her
And the undertaker popped me the finger
Such a striking predicament
The feeling of it
The body in the casket
The startling facts
Are coming back to me
