Miss Merry's Memoriam

Oh, now, Sweet Jane she said
"Miss Merry's got it in for us"
The way she called our names
The way she swore
The way she cussed

As we played our games
She always made such a fuss
'til we'd run away
Returning ever mischievous

In those early days
We dreamed of fortune and fame
Parties that raged
Lives that were so fabulous
Fans who knew our names
Love that was so amorous
In those early days
The future was before us

But, when we left it all behind
To travel far and wide
No one thought Miss Merry's fate
Would bring us home to the countryside

Oh, how, Jane she cried
As pennies lay upon her eyes
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
All things have their time

In those early days
We dreamed of fortune and fame
Parties that raged
Lives that were so fabulous
Fans who knew our names
Love that was so amorous
In those early days
The future was before us

And with our glasses raised
We fondly recalled
How her roses bloomed
Along her garden wall

Well, in those early days
We dreamed of fortune and fame
Parties that raged
Lives that were so fabulous
Fans who knew our names
Love that was so amorous
In those early days
The future was before us

In those early days
When the future lay before us
