Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip
Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip
Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip
Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip
This old man, he was flesh -- they wheeled him in upon a trolley
Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn
Draw a window on his skin now
Vera Lynn nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin
Vera Lynn nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin
This old man, he was next -- blindfolded to face the volley
Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn
"Love will come of all our sins"
Painted on my tail fin now Vera Lynn
Vera Lynn nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin
Vera Lynn nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin
This old man persevered -- in his mind he lay with Molly
Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn
Cleanse us with your healing grin
Septicemia always wins, now
Vera Lynn nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin
Vera Lynn nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin
Coma high, coma low
Blood is precious, yes or no?
I believe in surgery -- and that's a fact
I believe in making it easy
I believe in surgery, but I never act
I believe in making it easy
Easy Easy Easy
Easy Easy Easy
Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip
Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip
Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip
Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip
This old man, he was gone -- he was gone and I was sorry
Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn
Down I spiral, down I spin
Forces sweetheart, I'm your twin now
Vera Lynn nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin
Vera Lynn nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin
Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip
