Lyrics:

While standing at the junction on 42nd Street
I idly kick a pebble
Lying near my feet
Oh, I hear a weird noise
Take a look up and down
Cause of the commotion
Is right there on the ground
Imagine my surprise
Thought I'd left it at home, yeah
But there's no doubt about it, it's my own tombstone
I went into a shop
Bought a loaf of bread
I sank my teeth into it
Thought I'd bust my head
Oh, I dashed to the dentist
'Hey, hey, I've got an awful pain', yeah
This man looks in my mouth and screams
'This boy is insane'
Imagine my surprise
Thought I'd left it at home, yeah
There's a lump in my mouth of my own tombstone
I went in to see a movie
Got the only empty seat
I tried to stretch out in it
Something blocking my feet
Finally the lights came up
And I could clearly see
A slab of engraved marble just staring up at me
Ah, imagine my surprise
I thought I'd left it at home
But there's no doubt I'm sitting on my own tombstone
