Spare a Thought

Why is the Grim Reaper so skinny? It’s because he is rushed off his feet When so many people are passing away He can’t take the time off to eat So please spare a thought for the Reaper Help him out till he gets a bit stronger Do the poor fellow a favour And try, if you can, to live longer If he could just rest for a while Put his feet up and eat some home cooking He could get some flesh back on his bones And he’d end up a bit better looking So please spare a thought for the Reaper If you’re thinking ‘bout dying, please wait Oh ! Please spare a thought for the Reaper ‘cause, he’s got far too much on his plate
