Jamie, was a friend of mine
He was 25, when he died
He was 25, when he died
And he'd hate me but I get angry
I wish my friend were still alive, oh lord
Oh I wish my friend were still alive

And when he died
Oh they took him to his grave
And they carried him there
On the back of a parade
On the back of a parade

And when he died
They sent his spirit to the sky
Thеn he came back down with a piano in his mouth
A piano in his mouth
Oh Dezziе was a friend of mine
She's a mermaid now, mama
She's a mermaid now mhmm

In the morning
It gets lonely
Oh I wish my friends were still alive
Oh I wish my friends were still alive

And when she died
Oh they took her to a grave
And they carried her there
On the back of a parade
On the back of a parade

And when he died
They sent her spirit to the sky
Then it came back down with a piano in her mouth
A piano in her mouth

And when they died
Oh they took 'em to their grave
And they carried them there
On the back of a parade
On the back of a parade
And when they died
They sent their spirits to the sky
Then they came back down with a piano in their mouths
A piano in their mouths
And the music did come out
The piano in their mouths



Oh Jamie, was a friend of mine
He was 25 when he died, oh lord
And I wish my friend were still alive
