Someone called the other day
F D G E
Said old Teddy Greenstreets passed away
Am
They buried him on Saturday
F Am
They said it was a lovely way to go
G F E
In his sleep, didn't know a thing
[Verse 2]

His wife couldn't go
F D G E
Her second husband took her uptown to a show

His sons and daughters emigrated
F Am
Said it cost too much to travel home
G F E
Sent a wreath and a sheath
[Chorus]

Isn't it a shame that no one came
A C F G A
The funeral was quiet, but all the same
D A F C
He's much better off where he is now

Rest in peace, Teddy.
