"singing my, my, my, how the time does fly,
when you know you're gonna die by the end of the night"
It's a kind of sarcasm, because while someone/ something is coming for him, he's prepared and is not planning to simply give up, while the other force may be expecting to meet no resistance.
The little song is humour about his situation because he's not the one going to die.
This fits with the song being about growing up in Keasbey, and not giving up without a fight.
