Lyrics: Went out to feed the cattle And to my surprise My lawn was full of bodies Just a gatherin' up the flies A big ol' jet liner Had dropped from out of the sky Well I was so darn happy that I couldn't believe my eyes We're gonna stuff 'em Put 'em on display 'tween Patsy Cline and Buddy Holly Loadin' up my tractor Gonna take the bodies inside Betty Lou will bring the sawdust And I've got the formaldehyde I'm callin' up my neighbours Tell 'em all to drop by A body stuffin' party And we'll bake some kidney pie We're gonna stuff 'em Put 'em on display 'tween Patsy Cline and Buddy Holly We'll have our own air crash museum People lined for miles just to see 'em Jim Croce's in the corner The Big Bopper's by the stairs Ricky Nelson's in the kitchen But nobody cares |

Comments: Possibly in slightly poor taste, but who wants to be politically correct all the time? This one ain't great, but it ain't bad at all. Mike Brennan: One of the songs I can sing and play bass to at the same time, but I wish I could remember all the words. Quite a catchy goody. |
