The Tiger Lillies - Cancer lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Cancer lyrics]
Uncle Bill and auntie Mary
Always used to shout
And uncle Bill would knock auntie Mary about
With auntie Mary in such misery
I always thought that cancer
Was like the cavalry
When cancer cut Bill down
They said what a crying shame
Well I never thought so
And Mary did the same let’s face it Bill
You were a bastard through and through
So when that cancer cut him down
I did not feel blue
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
Cancer it will set you free
The big C was like the cavalry
When he was on his deathbed
One day for a joke me and auntie Mary
Fun at him we poked as he lay there
In his abject pain me and auntie Mary
We sung him this refrain
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
When he died later that same day
Me and auntie Mary for him didn’t pray
But sometimes on a winter’s night
Though he has been long gone
Me and auntie Mary still sing the same song
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
Always used to shout
And uncle Bill would knock auntie Mary about
With auntie Mary in such misery
I always thought that cancer
Was like the cavalry
When cancer cut Bill down
They said what a crying shame
Well I never thought so
And Mary did the same let’s face it Bill
You were a bastard through and through
So when that cancer cut him down
I did not feel blue
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
Cancer it will set you free
The big C was like the cavalry
When he was on his deathbed
One day for a joke me and auntie Mary
Fun at him we poked as he lay there
In his abject pain me and auntie Mary
We sung him this refrain
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
When he died later that same day
Me and auntie Mary for him didn’t pray
But sometimes on a winter’s night
Though he has been long gone
Me and auntie Mary still sing the same song
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you
