Chorus | boo hoo |
Champion | With all mine five ribs do I grieve! So weep ye for old Winston Whose dark days shone in 18 ninety 7 For ... all I see now is holes, in him And maggots up his widely-sniffing nose. |
Chorus | Poor Winston Poor old Winston |
Champion | We acknowledged him (sob) ---Winny Apple Less--- And now to sing his funeral song |
Chorus | "Little Winnie's dead So shove him in the coffin For you dont get the chance Of a funeral often." |
The Mourners | Encore! |
Chorus and Champion together | "Little Winnie's dead So hurry up and bury him Bear him off to Heaven To be eaten by the seraphim." |
The Mourners | Encore! |
Chorus | "Catch a Winston £@%=£@ ⅞ $$ Wash him in some +&=?⅞ $ Hang him on a line to dry." |
Champion | Saddened us.... hath the death of Winston. O Winnie was our big fat king. Now he is dead. Boo hoo. |
