The Hearse Song (from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark) - by the Crossed Swords

The Hearse Song (from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark) - by the Crossed Swords Tube. Duration : 1.52 Mins.


A rendition of the Hearse Song, as it appears in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz. In the background are various illustrations from that book, drawn by the artist Stephen Gammell (if you like them, we highly recommend you purchase the book!) This book tops the list of most frequently challenged library books from 1990-2000, as judged by the ALA: www.librarycareers.org Suck it, Catcher in the Rye! A slightly better quality, audio-only version is available at: www.myspace.com Happy Halloween! Song Information: Title: The Hearse Song Composer: Anonymous Lyrics: Do you ever think, as the hearse goes by That you may be the next to die? They wrap you up in a long white sheet From your head down to your feet They put you in a big black box and cover you over with dirt and rocks And all goes well for about a week And then the coffin begins to leak The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out The worms play pinochle on your snout They eat your eyes, they eat your nose They eat the jelly between your toes A great big worm with rolling eyes Cralws in your stomach and out your eyes Your stomach turns a slimy green And pus pours out like whipping cream You spread it on a slice of bread and that's what you eat when you are dead You spread it on a slice of bread and that's what you eat when you are dead Performance Information: Vocals: AIS Dara Guitar: Talha the Grim
