The Undertaker's Assistant

Dear Abby, dear Abby
I got one for you
I'm stuck in a cartoon like a monkey in a zoo
A friend said, "I like you when you are yourselves"
And his face turned inside out
And he stood on his head
And he asked me what that story was all about
The story of the monkey man and the undertaker's assistant

Well, I said
"Well, buddy, that's a sad story, 'cause it is born of pain"
He said, "Well, tell me that story anyhow
You know I'd like to hear how you broke your heart"
And was so sincere
