For days he says he can remember

And through the town the pallbearers sing old songs

Of a beautiful purple mountain

verse 2

May I now present you the speaker,

"Friends he was a man of men, a man of gold:

He had a how do you say, ethical like sense"

That's when the Prezident started to giggle

(same as first verse)

And the children gave the blessing

Though the service weren't half done

Each of them sued the other one

For the Last great American

verse 3

Merry reaches up, we bow our heads

He pulls the lid on down and his stone is read

Here lies our Merry

The man with the heart so spent

That in this day and age

Is sick of living

(same as first verse)

And judges argue letters

Fabric comes undone

For every daughter every son

Of the Last great American:
