Lyrics:

[Intro:]
You know, there's been a lot of talk going around that a good friend of ours, and I'm sure a good friend of yours, is missing.
Now I don't know if there's any truth in that statement or not, but we, the Mitchell Trio, would like to say this about that

God is dead, so they say
He's been dead several days
How he died, no one knows
No one cares where he went

At the end, not a friend
He was never the popular type I suppose
He forgave, they forgot, now he's dead
No I'm not

God is dead, so they say
He's been dead several days
How he died, no one knows
But he's gone to the land of smiles

Oh his style was always wild
Dashing around in those awfully long clothes
But I've a hunch, based on fact
Knowing him, he'll be back
