Farewell My Old Friend

Farewell my old friend, it seems this is the end
You thought you were invincible, you fool!
We'll have another round as we put you in the ground
Farewell my old friend, farewell

Well, you were self-assured with pride
But not much going on inside
Crooked grin and glassy-eyed, a model man indeed
Always had a stupid scheme to build some crazy new machine
Assured us it would be a scream and most of us agreed (ay)

Well, man was never born with wings
Still, you built that stupid thing out of rubber bands and strings
Paraded it around
People said it wouldn't fly, they warned you, "Man, you're gonna die!"
But still you said you had to try and crashed it in the ground

So farewell my old friend, it seems this is the end
You thought you were invincible, you fool!
Let's have another round as we put you in the ground
Farewell my old friend, farewell

Always living on the edge
But not much sense inside your head
We always knew you'd end up dead
Some things are meant to be
And even though your life was short
The way you'd revel and cavort
We'd always get a laugh and snort
You gave us so much glee (ay)

Inventors, yes the world has got
But one of them, well you were not
But still you gave it your best shot
We never saw your frown
You made a lot of shoddy stuff
You tried for things extremely tough
And even when it all got rough, it never got you down

So farewell my old friend, it seems this is the end
You thought you were invincible, you fool!
Let's have another round as we put you in the ground
Farewell my old friend, farewell

Too-ra-lee, Too-ra-lum
Too-da-loo, boy you were so dumb

Farewell my old friend, it seems this is the end
You thought you were invincible, you fool!
Let's have another round as we put you in the ground
Farewell my old friend, farewell
Farewell
