(Bachman/Cummings)
2
Friends of mine don't have the time
3
For food or wine
4
Just money is on their minds
5
Life is sweet
6
On a one-way street
7
They're indiscrete
8
And funny, they'll never meet
9
B-bay-b-bay-b-bay-b-bay-bay-baby...
10
I gotta get a two-ton truck
11
I gotta get a two-ton truck
12
I gotta get a two-ton truck
13
I gotta get a two-ton truck
14
I gotta do it to a duck on a two-ton truck and fade away like Ron Rene
15
All right, all right
16
You got the magical mystery tour
17
You got the magical mystery tour
18
You got the magical mystery tour
19
You got the magical mystery tour
20
And Kurt is the Walrus
21
And Kurt is the Walrus
22
And the Walrus does funny things to the veins in his left arm
23
All right
24
And Michael is now a father, all right
25
And Michael is now a proud father, all right
26
And my good friend Michael is now a proud father
27
And Michael is now a father, all right
28
And that means Michael's wife is a mother, all right

Up the 13 steps of the gallows walked the condemned man
30
And time passes very quickly when death is near
31
After having completed the first step, the condemned man knew there were but 12 left
32
Before he would meet death and his soul would leave his body
33
And after having completed the 13 steps the condemned man was met by a giant cloaked figure
34
And with a quick flick of the wrist the man was dead
35
And his soul left his body and went down down down
36
To a place we laughingly refer to as hell
37
But none of us will ever go there because we're all far too groovy
38
The man's body was left to rot on the gallows
39
And a great multitude of black birds came and picked the man's corpse apart
40
Piece by piece
41
Limb by limb
42
Until nothing remained
43
And his blood melted into the ground below
44
The gallows was made from a tree created by God
45
The man's blood dripped into the ground which was created by God
46
Even the giant cloaked figure which was the man's own end was created by God
47
Even the man's soul which went down was created by God
48
Even the black birds which picked the man's corpse apart were created by God
49
And where was god?
50
In Flanders Fields the poppies grow
51
Between the crosses row on row
52
To mark the dead
53
To Flanders Fields the hippies go
54
To smoke the poppies there below
55
And feed their heads
56
And they're all friends of mine, each and every one of them, no better or no worse
57
And we'll probably end up down there together when it's all over
58
And that's why we say
59
B-bay-b-bay-b-bay-b-bay-b-baby...
60
It's all over and it's all right.
