The Boneyard

All bets are off in the boneyard, Jack, The returns are in and the loser projected, The contract is ruled on, null and void, And the debt is collected. The game has been called on account of death. Tomorrow's been cancelled for you, Lou, It's business as usual up here for us, But your payment's due. It's all over for you now, Joe, You had your chance and you blew it. You were beat before you began, man, But you never knew it. I know the whole thing is quite a shock, And we're all just as sorry as hell, Mel, But seeing we never much got along, dammit! it's just as well.
