I've preened the feathers on my wings And I've polished my halo I've heard my knell on church bells ring And I feel it's time to go (Chorus) Jesus, Jesus, give me your answer do I'm half crazy all for the love of you I've curled my hair and cleaned my shroud And I've practised on the lyre So put my name down for a cloud Near that old heavenly choir (Chorus) I've booked my plot in Bid-a-wee And I've had the stone inscribed The coffin's black mahogany With silk cushions, dear, inside (Chorus)
