If you like dark humour and have a taste for knowing what you really shouldn't want to know you will love it. Brilliant characters and Great writing, be prepared to laugh your socks off.-thedeludedfool, Amazon UK Theme song, for optimistic female voices, to the tune of Shuffle off to Buffalo:
When you're in the mortuary
You may find it cold and scary -
No, no, don't recoil.
Off you're gonna shuffle,
Shuffle off this mortal coil! Comes the undertaker later
And he'll drain your radiator
And he'll change your oil.
Off you're gonna shuffle,
Shuffle off this mortal coil! First he'll put you on the table,
Then he'll pump out your insides.
He'll make your condition stable
With formal-de-hyde! You'll be magotty and wormy -
It's enough to make you squirmy -
When you're in the soil.
Off you're gonna shuffle,
Shuffle off this mortal coil! Just because you feel immortal
Doesn't mean you'll never die.
You'll get hard and rigor mortal -
No use to won-der why! When you're pushing up the daisies
You'll be lying back and lazy -
No more moil and toil.
Off you're gonna shuffle,
Shuffle off this mortal coil!
Shuffle off, shuffle off, shuffle off, shuffle off,
Shuffle off this mor-tal coil! Cover by Peter Ratcliffe
