Stephen Sondheim
All Aboard
[CHARON]
All aboard!
Hades Express!
Non-stop
Just a short hop
To the bottomless pit --
This is it!
Club Dead
Straight ahead
Bring your shroud
No coffins allowed --
There's too big a crowd
But if you're a stiff
Then get in the skiff
And we're off to Perdition
And wait till you see Perdition:
You think you know dank?
Hoo, boy
You think you know dismal?
Sheesh, forget it
Talk about dark, talk about dreary
What you think is dreary
Is what we call cheery
Down here
[The boat lands]
All aboard!
No delay
Long as you're D.O.A
If you fall off the perch
If you buy the farm
Kick the bucket
Bite the dust
If you're pushing up daisies
Truck on down
And when I say down
I mean down...
All aboard!
Get your kicks
On the River Styx...
