Lyrics
The kids are in town for a funeral
– Izingane zisemngcwabeni edolobheni
So pack the car and dry your eyes
– Ngakho ukupakisha imoto bese omise amehlo akho
I know they got plenty of young blood left in ’em
– Ngiyazi ukuthi basala negazi eliningi elincane
And plenty nights under pink skies you taught ’em to enjoy
– Futhi ubusuku obuningi ngaphansi kwesibhakabhaka esibomvana ubafundise ukujabulela
So clean the house, clear the drawers, mop the floors, stand tall
– Ngakhoananza indlu, ususe amadilowa, ususe phansi, ume uphakeme
Like no one’s ever been here before or at all
– Njengoba kungekho muntu owake waba lapha ngaphambili noma nhlobo
And don’t you mention all the inches that are scraped on the doorframe
– Futhi ungakhulumi ngawo wonke amasentimitha akhishwe esikhwameni somnyango
We all know you tiptoed up to 4’1″ back in ’08
– Sonke siyazi wena tiptoed kuze 4 ‘1″ emuva ngo ‘ 08
If you could see ’em now, you’d be proud
– Uma ubungababona manje, ubuyoziqhenya
But you’d think they’s yuppies
– Kodwa ungacabanga ukuthi bangama-yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
– Umngcwabo wakho wawumuhle
I bet God heard you comin’
– Ngiyaqiniseka Ukuthi Unkulunkulu wakuzwa ufika
The kids are in town for a funeral
– Izingane zisemngcwabeni edolobheni
And the grass all smells the same as the day you broke your arm swingin’
– Futhi utshani bonke bunuka ngendlela efanayo nosuku owaphula ngalo ingalo yakho
On that kid out on the river
– Kuleyo ngane emfuleni
You bailed him out, never said a thing about Jesus or the way he’s livin’
– Wamkhipha ngebheyili, akazange asho Lutho Ngojesu noma ngendlela aphila ngayo
If you could see ’em now, you’d be proud
– Uma ubungababona manje, ubuyoziqhenya
But you’d think they’s yuppies
– Kodwa ungacabanga ukuthi bangama-yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
– Umngcwabo wakho wawumuhle
I bet God heard you comin’
– Ngiyaqiniseka Ukuthi Unkulunkulu wakuzwa ufika
(Strum it)
– (Strum it)
If you could see ’em now, you’d be proud
– Uma ubungababona manje, ubuyoziqhenya
But you’d think they’s yuppies
– Kodwa ungacabanga ukuthi bangama-yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
– Umngcwabo wakho wawumuhle
I bet God heard you comin’
– Ngiyaqiniseka Ukuthi Unkulunkulu wakuzwa ufika
The kids are in town for a funeral
– Izingane zisemngcwabeni edolobheni
So pack the car and dry your eyes
– Ngakho ukupakisha imoto bese omise amehlo akho
I know they got plenty of young blood left in ’em
– Ngiyazi ukuthi basala negazi eliningi elincane
And plenty nights under pink skies you taught ’em to enjoy
– Futhi ubusuku obuningi ngaphansi kwesibhakabhaka esibomvana ubafundise ukujabulela
