JERRY CRUNCHER: I was glad to be back home again. While I was sitting outside Tellson’s with me son, waiting for instructions from Mr. Lorry, my son asks me about me muddy boots and rusty fingers. I told him he’s not old enough yet to understand the nature of my nighttime scientific work as a resurrection man. And besides, his mum with all her praying and flopping about made me promise not to tell him; afraid it would send him right to the devil and all! Now right in the middle of me explanation I see a funeral procession coming down the street. I asked someone about who was in the casket and they say it’s a spy named Roger Cly. That was the bloke who testified against Mr. Darnay. Now me being interested in science and all, I decided I had to follow along so I grabbed me shovel told me son to go home and off I went.

WHO COULD IT BE THEY'RE CARRYIN' DOWN THE STREET
THEY SAY HE WAS A SPY OH I WISH THAT I COULD SEE
SOMEONE SAID ITS ROGER CLY
THEY SAID THAT HE DIED LAST NIGHT
OH MAYBE I'LL TAG ALONG
AND ACT LIKE I BELONG
THIS DEATH COULD BE GOOD FORTUNE FOR ME
(CHORUS)
CAUSE I'M A RESURRECTION MAN
I DO WHAT I CAN FOR SCIENCE
YES I DO
I'M A RESURRECTION MAN
I DIG THEM FROM THE LAND FOR A FEE
(INSTRUMENTAL)
(CHORUS)
CAUSE I'M A RESURRECTION MAN
I DO WHAT I CAN FOR SCIENCE
YES I DO
I'M A RESURRECTION MAN
I DIG THEM FROM THE LAND FOR A FEE
YESSIRE

WHAT COULD BE WRONG
THEY BURIED HIM THIS MORNING
I SAW IT WITH MY OWN TWO EYES
NOW THERE'S NOBODY HERE
NO THERE AINT NO BODY IN HERE RIGHT NOW
NO, NO
SO WHY WOULD ROGER CLY
FAKE HIS DEATH AND LIE
I HOPE IT AINT THE DEAD THAT’S CURSING ME
(CHORUS)
I WAS A RESURRECTION MAN
I DID WHAT I COULD FOR SCIENCE
YES I DID
I WAS A RESURRECTION MAN
BUT I AINT DIGGIN HERE AGAIN
NO, NO MORE
I WAS A RESURRECTION MAN
I DID WHAT I COULD FOR SCIENCE
YES I DID
I WAS A RESURRECTION MAN
BUT I AINT DIGGIN HERE AGAIN
NO IT AINT FOR ME
IM LEAVING
IM THROUGH
IM DONE
IM GONE
THERE AINT NO WAY
IM DOING THIS ANYMORE
THIS RESURRECTION MAN IS OUTTA HERE
I QUIT!
