Lyrics:
Late for my funeral on the first day of June Someone shoulda known I'd never get there by noon Late for my chariot, late for my wings 
Didn't even get to hear the fat lady sing 
I was late for my funeral, late for the priest 
I was the last one to find out that I was deceased Late for the undertaker, late for the hearse 
Late to punch my ticket couldn't get reimbursed 
I was too late for some Hadacol 
I was too late for some Demerol 
I was too late for some Geritol 
I was late for my funeral 

Late to rise I was late for work 
First they made me the boss and then they made me a clerk And then I cashed my check but it didn't make a dent 
I went looking for outside work to pay the rent 
But I was late for the job, late for the jig 
They were passing liquid courage and so I had me a swig Then I was late for the pickup 'cause I hit a snag 
And when the alarm bell rang they left me holding the bag 
I was too late, I was against the law 
I was too late for my telephone call 
Then I was too late for my baby doll 
Now I'm late for my funeral 

Late for the jury I was late for the judge 
By the time I took my seat they already held a grudge Late for my sentence so he doubled my time 
Now being late for a nickel's gonna cost me a dime 

Late for the paddy wagon, late for the jail 
I woulda bought a suit but I was late for the sale Late for the yard, late for the hole 
Now I'm late for a miracle to save my soul 
I was too late for Wichita 
I was too late for Omaha 
I was too late for the Chippewa 
I was late for my funeral 

Late for the fair I was late for the feast 
I was the last one to see they were gonna feed me to the beast Late for breakfast, late for lunch 
I think I'm gonna be late for supper but it's just a hunch 
I was late for my funeral, first of June 
She was in the kitchen and i was on the moon 
I was late for the ocean, late for the sky 
Didn't even get to see the fireworks on the Fourth of July 

I was too late
I was too late
I was too late
I was too late
