dearly beloved ... we are gathered here today. to get through this thing called LIFE.. electric word "life" it means forever. and that's a mighty long time. but I'm here to tell you. there's something else .. the afterworld. a world of never ending happiness. you can always see the sun day or night.. so when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills --. you know the one .. dr. everything'll be alright.. `stead of asking him how much of you're time is left. ask him how much of you're mind baby. `cause in this life things are much harder than in the afterworld. in this life you're on your own !. and if the elevator tries to bring u down. go crazy .. punch a higher floor !. If you don't like the world you're living in. take a look around you at least you got friends.. I called my old lady for a friendly word. she just picked up the phone .. dropped it on the floor. "ssss ahh sss ahh !" is all I heard.. chorus :. I'm not gonna let the elevator bring us down. oh no let's go .. let's go crazy !. let's get nuts. let's look for the purple banana `til they put us in the truck. let's go !. all excited don't know why. maybe it's `cause we're all gonna die. and when we do what's it all for?. better live now before the grim reaper comes knocking on your door. tell me baby ... are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?. ( chorus x's 2 ). dr. everything'll be alright ... make everything go wrong.. pills and thrills and daffodils will kill. hang tough children ... he's coming .. he's coming .. he's coming !
