Hazardous Waist

Forty-seven atheists have gathered round my grave [PeterWRC]

their lack of faith unshakable in any way at all [Big Andy]

No-one wants to modify the way that they behave [Roland]

Against the chance that after death they'll really have a ball [TG]

Listen as they sing! [loaf]

Twenty-seven Stalinists are sitting in my tub [F]

Their lack of shoes unfeasible considering their weight [PeterWRC]

Ask them for a pencil, they just produce a stub [loaf]

Several even had the nerve to ask me for a date [F]

Listen as they sing! [(trad)]

Thirty-seven parodists are lying on my bed [F]

Their lack of wit unbearable in light of all they spew [Kansas Sam]

I'd rather sleep in coffins alongside the "undead" [F]

Whose words of fright cohere, at least; they're hard to misconstrue [Kansas Sam]

Listen as they sing! [F]

Listen as we sing, [Roland]

Listen as we sing, [Grayman]

Listen, durn it, as we sing! [Kansas Sam]
