Here are some samples of the fabric, Miss Morgan
I know how painful it must be
But I guess it’s your responsibility
I understand he was your fiance
What a tragedy

Everybody wants to go to heaven, Miss Morgan
But nobody wants to die
Have you often wondered why
And why are your eyes so dry
It would help to cry

This is a popular, dusty-rose velvet Miss Morgan
Or how about a satin brocade
Guaranteed not to fade
Or maybe you’d prefer another shade
Trimmed in gold or silver braid
Would you like a lemonade
There’s no ice, I’m afraid

You can rest assured you have our heartfelt sympathy
(You can use our easy payment plan)
(Two hundred now and fifty when you can)
(We wanted you to know we understand)
La, la ,la, la, la

You can take comfort in knowing, Miss Morgan
He’s where we all want to be
Why are you laughing at me
Don’t you believe in eternity
