    Lyrics:
    Oh Len, come down
    And meet at the burial ground
    They’ve undid the aerial
    Tore down the merry-go-round
    This world’s all wrong
    So let’s go where we belong
    Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground
    Here among the fallen leaves
    Are we alone the ones that dare to breathe?
    Throw your worries down, they’re oh so gravely held
    You have carried them so well
    Len, come down
    And meet at the burial ground
    They’ve undid the aerial
    Tore down the merry-go-round
    This world’s all wrong
    So let’s go where we belong
    Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground
    You laid down below a stone
    Saying, “Wherever they have gone, I long to go.
    Somewhere out beyond these maladies in my head.”
    At least I think that’s what you said.
    Len, come down
    And meet at the burial ground
    They’ve undid the aerial
    Tore down the merry-go-round
    This world’s all wrong
    So let’s go where we belong
    Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground
    Len, come down
    And meet at the burial ground
    They’ve undid the aerial
    Tore down the merry-go-round
    This world’s all wrong
    So let’s go where we belong
    Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground
    Contract malaria, meet at the burial ground!

      @@konstantingona8235 If you're familiar with it, it's obvious, but Sloop John B is, itself, an adaptation of an older song from 1916, so the tune is well in the public domain.
