[Verse 1]
Teddy sniffing glue he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

[Chorus]
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, they just died

[Verse 2]
G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam- bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Draino on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died!

[Chorus]
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died
They were all my friends, and then they died
[Verse 3]
Cary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from the cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
And I salute you brother

[Chorus]
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and then they died

[Verse 4]
Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof
Tony thought that his rage was just some goof
But Herbie sure gave Tony some - some bitchen proof!
And Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?"
But Tony couldn't fly - Tony died!

[Chorus]
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends... just died
[Verse 5]
Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers
He said, hey, I know it's dangerous
But it sure beats Riker's
But the next day he got offed
By the very same bikers

[Chorus]
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they all died

[Verse 1]
Teddy sniffing glue when he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

[Chorus]
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Oh, those are people who died, died
Those are people who died
They were all my friends, they just died
[Verse 2]
G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam- took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Draino on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
I miss 'em- they died!

[Chorus]
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Oh, those are people who died, died
Those are people who died
They were all my friends, and then they died

[Verse 3]
Cary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from the cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
This song is for you my brother

[Chorus]
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they all died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they all died
