Willie the Wimp (And His Cadillac Coffin)

Willie the Wimp was buried today

They laid him to rest in a special way

Sent him off in the finest style

That casket-mobile really drove 'em wild

Southside Chicago will think of him often

Talking about Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin

Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffinThat casket, it looked like a fine Seville

He had a vanity license and a Cadillac grille

Willie was propped up in the driver's seat

He had diamonds on his fingers and a smile sweet

Fine red suit had the whole town talking

Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin

Yeah, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffinIn his Cadillac to Heaven he was waving the banner

He left like he lived, in a lively manner

With hundred dollar bills in his fingers tight

He had flowers for wheels and flashing headlights

He been wishing for wings, no way he was walking

Talking about Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin

Yeah, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffinWillie the Wimp, Cadillac coffin

Willie the Wimp, Cadillac coffin

Willie the Wimp, Cadillac coffin
