I'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead
I said dead than wet my bed

Oh, i'd rather be gone--than carry on
I'd rather go away--than feel this way

Oh, i'd rather be there--where you haven't got a care
And you're better off dead--though it doesn't seem fair

Oh, i'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed

(laidies)
I'd rather keep my health--and dress myself
But you're better off dead than sitting on a shelf

(men)
I'll tie my tie 'till the day i die
But if i have to be fed then i'd rather be dead

And when he takes my hand on the very last day
I will understand because it's better that way

Oh! it's nice to be alive--when the dream comes true
You'll be better off dead--it could happen to you

Oh! i'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed

(alright! give yourselves a big hand!)
