Nina she choked on a marshmallow
And she died right on the spot
I wonder if she felt pathetic
And what was her last thought
Ho, ho, ho what a way to go
You can toil and you can try
But one of these days you will die
That’s a fact that you must know
You don’t want ‘em to laugh
What a way to go
Bobby died in flagrante delicato
With a woman who wasn’t his wife
Bet he never thought
That this was the way he would end his life
Ho, ho, ho what a way to go
You can struggle and you can strive
But none of these things
Will ever keep you alive
From the king of kings to your average Joe
When you’re toast you’re toast
What a way to go
Life is mean and life is sick
Life will play you the cruelest trick
You think you got it going on
Don’t you know you’re just a pawn
You think you got it all together
But one day your hand will slip from its tether
And what you gonna do
Ho, ho, ho what a way to go
Jimmy he died from laughing
No really, he died from a joke
He laughed so hard he could not breathe
And then he started to choke
Ho, ho, ho what a way to go
You can worry
And you can fret
You can fight every mortal threat
When the reaper comes
You can’t know
Ho, ho, ho what a way to go
