The Tiger Lillies - Cancer lyrics

Uncle Bill and auntie Mary Always used to shout And uncle Bill would knock Auntie Mary about With auntie Mary In such misery I always thought that cancer Was like the cavalry When cancer cut Bill down They said what a crying shame Well I never thought so And Mary did the same Let's face it Bill You were a ba*tard through and through So when that cancer cut him down I did not feel blue Cancer cancer it's so good for you Cancer cancer it's so good for you Cancer it will set you free The big C was like the cavalry When he was on his d**hbed One day for a joke Me and auntie Mary Fun at him we poked As he lay there In his abject pain Me and auntie Mary We sung him this refrain Cancer cancer it's so good for you ... When he died Later that same day Me and auntie Mary For him didn't pray But sometimes on a winter's night Though he has been long gone Me and auntie Mary Still sing the same song Cancer cancer it's so good for you ...
