The Mourning Women

When anyone would die
They'd set up a good wake
And a big fuss would break out
With top-notch mourners
Yeah, 'cause the mourning women
Were part of the business
Oh God, oh Lord, what pain

A necessary instrument
In the grim moment
That was in the budget
Of the funeral service

World-renowned
For a cry so awake
That they were always confused
With the dead person's mother
Oh God, oh Lord, what pain

When anyone would die
They'd set up a good wake
And a big fuss would break out
With top-notch mourners
Yeah, 'cause the mourning women
Were part of the business
Oh God, oh Lord, what pain

At the wakes of the poor
The mourning women wouldn't show
They were so interested
That they wouldn't cry for cash

The crying went with the prayers
Sadly mixed up
The old ladies made such noise
That the dead would say, "What the hell is this?"
Oh God, oh Lord, what pain

When anyone would die
They'd set up a good wake
And a big fuss would break out
With top-notch mourners
Yeah, 'cause the mourning women
Were part of the business
Oh God, oh Lord, what pain

Haha, and as they say around there
The dead to the hole
And the living to the party, haha
I ain't taking nothing, bye

And I'm looking for a mourner
Oh yayay, the mourner
To kick off the crying
And I'm looking for a mourner
Oh yayay, the mourner
And let Alberto Caldera say it

Crying, crying
The mourners have arrived
Crying, crying (cry it)
The mourners have arrived (hey)
Crying mama, crying
The mourners have arrived (delicious)
Crying mama, crying
The mourners have arrived

(Mourners)
The crying begins
(Mourners)
But with more intensity
(Mourners)
Crying, crying, crying, crying, crying
(Mourners)
The mourner cries
