Ted End (J. Entwistle) © 1971 Whistle Rhymes Ltd.
Someone called the other day, said old Teddy Greestreet’s passed away
They buried him on Saturday; they said it was a lovely way to go
In his sleep; didn’t know a thing
His wife couldn’t go; her second husband took her uptown to a show
His sons and daughters emigrated, said it cost too much to travel home
Sent a wreath, and the sheath
Isn’t it a shame that no one came? The funeral was quiet, but all the same
He’s much better off where he is now…rest in peace Teddy
Henry called the other day, said old Teddy Greestreet’s passed away
They buried him on Saturday; they said it was a lovely way to go
In his sleep; didn’t know a thing
Isn’t it a shame that no one came? The funeral was quiet, but all the same
He’s much better off where he is now…rest in peace Teddy
Rest in peace Teddy
