Carol, I’ll forever be a frightened boy inside
Tell me your old horror story, liven up my mind
It was hardly forty stories, thought she could survive
Now I wear the darkest garment, mourning by her side
Let’s all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mum
Had sent her body soaring through the sky
Let’s all get up and dance to a song
That played in her day, long before
The thought could ever cross her weary mind
Was a quiet girl, with a long braid down her back
Don’t have colour television, head to toe in black
Sing for Carol, seek salvation, salt behind your step
Only jesus christ can see the kisses down your neck
Let’s all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before the pastor
Deemed it was the devil in disguise
Let’s all get up and dance to a song
In loving memory of your mum
May careful hands protect her beauty
Better than they did this time
