Soup Can Louie didn't have no mother
And you wonder how he ever got ahead
Claimed he was a self-made man
Didn't give no silver to the dead
Give no silver to the dead
Give no silver to the dead
History will come alive
If you give your silver to the dead
Black tooth cat's paw
Rubber necked darling
With a red wig on her head
Gotta keep hanging or
You'll never stop falling
If you give your silver to the dead
Give no silver to the dead
Give no silver to the dead
History will come alive
If you give your silver to the dead
Sunday midnight, time of the new moon
It often has been said
Skeletons inner tube tube down a blood river
If you give your silver to the dead
Rub skunk grease on a stump at sunset
Swing a cat over your head
Count to fifty and kiss a little person
But don't give silver to the dead
Give no silver to the dead
Give no silver to the dead
History will come alive
If you give your silver to the dead
Give no silver to the dead
Give no silver to the dead
History will come alive
If you give your silver to the dead
