Sexy Sadie Passed Away

Today I’ve got something to say about someone who really misbehaved, didn’t he?
Taking money for a word that should never be heard is everything but right, isn’t it?
No matter what you’re taught, enlightenment can’t be bought. It’s nothing to be sold, isn’t it?
Sexy Sadie passed away. It’s time to say that John was right, wasn’t he?

I wouldn’t have laughed all day in a land of plenty, milk and honey.
Oh, no, no, that’s no laughing matter.
I wouldn’t have laughed all day in the light of all that stolen money.
Oh, no, no, that’s no laughing matter.
I wouldn’t have laughed all day refusing all the poorer people.
Oh, no, no, that’s no laughing matter.
I wouldn’t have laughed all day being an arrant liar.

Today I had something to say about someone who really misbehaved, didn’t he?
Taking money for a word that should never be heard is everything but right, isn’t it?
Now here’s a clue for you, any word will do you’re comfortable with. Believe me!
Sexy Sadie passed away. It’s time to say that John was right, wasn’t he?
