lyrics

The day is dawning, it's a beautiful morning,  I do a little yawning,  I rise and shine. I get my coffee, what's in the offing? All of a sudden I'm coughing,  I'm definitely gonna die. This is the big one, dig my grave, say my goodbyes, cuz I'm definitely gonna die.

I'm overreacting,  no need to start packing, let's get cracking, I've got work to do. Got customers to please, gonna elicit some fees, and then I sneeze, I'm gonna die from the flu. Locate my donor card, dig a hole out in the yard, start taping my goodbyes cuz I'm definitely gonna die.

It was probably just dust,  to clean around here I must,  a vacuum would be a plus, but the vacuum is broke. I order one online. Just as I'm feeling fine, there's a sniffle and a whine and I know I'm gonne croak. My life's fruition, speed dial the mortician, no use for me to try cuz I'm definitely gonna die.

Now it comes to supper time,  I must admit I'm feeling fine, I cook a meal of which to dine, a glass of wine of which I pour. Anticipate a pleasant night, and I take a little bite, but something don't feel right, my throat is sore. I'm gonna die,  I'm gonna die, this time definitely I'm gonna die.

Now it's time to go to bed, the day has messed with my head, I should watch TV instead, but I do not. In the pillow where I lay, I think about the worried day, anxiety won't go away, and now my head feels hot. I just believe here, that it's a fever, I'm gonna die, the grim reaper, I'll never sleep here, cuz I'm gonna die.

I finally get to sleep,  in my dreams the ghosts creep, I pray my soul to keep, my mirror image I warn it. I rise again,  to a beautiful morning,  but in the ledge it lands, A MURDER HORNET!
I'm gonna die finally gonna die this time I'm definitely gonna die. Put in my gravestone I told you so cuz I'm definitely gonna die.
