Is Anybody Gonna Miss You Songtext

von Neil Sedaka

Once I knew a mean old man
Meaner than mean could be
Kickin' dogs and little children
Was his cup of tea
Came the day that he died
No one prayed for his soul
Now he's fuel for the devil's fire
Burnin' like a piece of coal
Is anybody gonna miss you
Is anybody gonna cry?
Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella
Too bad, he had to die
Who's gonna be your salvation
When it's time to go?
Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven
Or wish you down below?
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh, yeah
There are those who may say
When you're gone you're gone
And on the other hand, there are those
Who say that your soul lives on
I'm not sure and you're not sure
Where the road may lead
But if there's a light at the end of that tunnel
Get all the help you'll need
Is anybody gonna miss you
Is anybody gonna cry?
Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella
Too bad, he had to die
Who's gonna be your salvation
When it's time to go?
Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven
Or wish you down below?
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh, yeah
Every hand that you shake
Is like a savin's bond
And every smile is a down payment
For a ticket to the great beyond
There's no man on this earth
Who couldn't use an extra friend
So tell me, what's wrong with a little insurance
When you reach the end?
Is anybody gonna miss you
Is anybody gonna cry?
Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella
Too bad, he had to die
Who's gonna be your salvation
When it's time to go?
Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven
Or wish you down below?
Is anybody gonna miss you
Is anybody gonna cry?
Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella
Too bad, he had to die
Who's gonna be your salvation
When it's time to go?
