Well it's a time honored tradition
To get enough nutrition
Stay alive until you die and that is the end of you
And I pity the fools
Who don't recognize the rules
You cannot cheat the reaper's reap
And that is the end of that
That is the end of that [Repeat: x3]

Well it's not an old wive's tale
Too much red meat and ale
Will make you pay
Get five a day
Or that is the end of you
But true without exception
These nights of booze catch up with yous
And that is an actual fact
That is the end of that [Repeat: x3]

Oh la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la

It's a time honored tradition
To get enough nutrition
Stay alive until you die and
That is end of you
I pity the fools who
don't recognize the rules
You cannot cheat the reaper's reap and that's the end of that!
