about

After this year, the only humor I have left is black.

Truth is, I've wanted to record this for a long time, but I couldn't remember the lyrics. So, many thanks to Eli Goldberg, who got me a copy of Julia Ecklar singing this, oh, thirty years or so ago.

lyrics

I know a place that you should visit, you may find it grand.
If you need a little help, we're sure to lend a hand.
If you want a slight vacation, I think you will want to stay.
For a quite unique diversion, come on down to play.

Come on down to the mortuary, we’ll take you in a jif.
We can play our favorite game, pin the tail on the stiff.
We can all play blind man's bluff, I think that you will find
That it's so much more fun to play when everyone is blind.

Come on down to the mortuary, it's a nice place to rest.
We aren't so particular, but you should wear your best.
We offer rides in limousines and drives through flowered parks,
And though our rooms aren't very large, they're always cool and dark.

Come on down to the mortuary, the finest place to die.
We will treat you graciously from the moment you arrive.
There's no need for an appointment, stop in any time of day --
But when you stop by for a visit, be prepared to stay.

The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 4 fans who also own “Mortuary”

Alexander James Adams "The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales" is an excellent album. With songs retelling a variety of myths and faerie tales, each song is both very fun to listen to, fits well together as an album, and is distinct from the rest of the album. Brownie Dan especially stuck out to me, both in terms of just being a really fun song musically and in terms of the lyrics being delightful. Definitely worth a listen, and thank you for a wonderful album. Kamani
