Lyrics
The kids are in town for a funeral
– Timoun yo nan vil la pou yon antèman
So pack the car and dry your eyes
– Se konsa pake machin nan epi seche je ou
I know they got plenty of young blood left in ’em
– Mwen konnen yo gen anpil jèn san kite nan yo
And plenty nights under pink skies you taught ’em to enjoy
– Ak anpil nwit anba syèl woz ou te anseye yo jwi
So clean the house, clear the drawers, mop the floors, stand tall
– Se konsa, netwaye kay la, netwaye tiwa yo, siye planche yo, kanpe wo
Like no one’s ever been here before or at all
– Tankou pèsonn pa janm te isit la anvan oswa nan tout
And don’t you mention all the inches that are scraped on the doorframe
– Epi ou pa mansyone tout pous yo ke yo grate sou ankadreman pòt la
We all know you tiptoed up to 4’1″ back in ’08
– Nou tout konnen ou tiptoed jiska 4 ‘1″ tounen nan ‘ 08
If you could see ’em now, you’d be proud
– Si ou te kapab wè ’em kounye a, ou ta dwe fyè
But you’d think they’s yuppies
– Men ou ta panse yo se yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
– Antèman ou te bèl
I bet God heard you comin’
– Mwen parye Bondye tande ou vini
The kids are in town for a funeral
– Timoun yo nan vil la pou yon antèman
And the grass all smells the same as the day you broke your arm swingin’
– Ak zèb la tout santi menm jan ak jou a ou kase bra ou swingin’
On that kid out on the river
– Sou timoun sa a sou larivyè lefrat la
You bailed him out, never said a thing about Jesus or the way he’s livin’
– Ou te sove l, pa janm di Yon bagay sou Jezi oswa fason Li ap viv
If you could see ’em now, you’d be proud
– Si ou te kapab wè ’em kounye a, ou ta dwe fyè
But you’d think they’s yuppies
– Men ou ta panse yo se yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
– Antèman ou te bèl
I bet God heard you comin’
– Mwen parye Bondye tande ou vini
(Strum it)
– (Strum li)
If you could see ’em now, you’d be proud
– Si ou te kapab wè ’em kounye a, ou ta dwe fyè
But you’d think they’s yuppies
– Men ou ta panse yo se yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
– Antèman ou te bèl
I bet God heard you comin’
– Mwen parye Bondye tande ou vini
The kids are in town for a funeral
– Timoun yo nan vil la pou yon antèman
So pack the car and dry your eyes
– Se konsa pake machin nan epi seche je ou
I know they got plenty of young blood left in ’em
– Mwen konnen yo gen anpil jèn san kite nan yo
And plenty nights under pink skies you taught ’em to enjoy
– Ak anpil nwit anba syèl woz ou te anseye yo jwi
