dont't laugh the paper said

cause soon he'll be dead

the paper said today

the band would in fact play

after cancelling their show

doctors had discovered

deep down inside the drummer

a somewhat large malignant growth

it was testicular cancer

the paper had all the answers

they really seemed to have a ball

cause cancer's funny after all

the paper said today

they diagnosed too late

the prognosis seemed mighty slim

but don't you think it's funny

cause it's his balls and not his tummy

our prayers are with him

the paper said today
