cause soon he'll be dead
the paper said today
the band would in fact play
after cancelling their show
doctors had discovered
deep down inside the drummer
a somewhat large malignant growth
it was testicular cancer
the paper had all the answers
they really seemed to have a ball
cause cancer's funny after all
the paper said today
they diagnosed too late
the prognosis seemed mighty slim
but don't you think it's funny
cause it's his balls and not his tummy
our prayers are with him
the paper said today
