The Lyrics
Here is the song about the death of Friends star Matthew Perry.
Say, (Start in to say, then you’ll be acting,)
Then, you’ll say, (Start in to sing, then you’ll be acting,)
That actor is bound to drown you,
Oh, (Turn on the drown, then kill myself,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the drown, then kill myself,)
That actor is bound to drown you,
Actor, actor, actor, actor, actor...mmm...
Matthew's dead,
Start in to say, then soon, you’ll be best friends,
Matthew's dead,
Turn on the show, your friends will keep beating,
One, two, three,
It’s a new best friend time, (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the step that’s putting the friends on its feet,
Matthew's dead,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Matthew's dead,
Get on your friends, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a friend,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, simple as everything,
It’s time Matthew's dead!
Matthew's dead,
Start in to say, then soon, you’ll be best friends,
Matthew's dead,
Turn on the show, your friends will keep beating,
One, two, three,
It’s a new best friend time, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the step that’s putting the friends on its feet,
Matthew's dead,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Matthew's dead,
Get on your friends, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a friend,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, simple as everything,
It’s time Matthew's dead, whoa!
Matthew's dead,
(instrumental call-back)
Matthew's dead,
(instrumental call-back)
One, two, three,
It’s a new best friend time, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the step that’s putting the friends on its feet,
Matthew's dead,
(instrumental call-back)
Matthew's dead,
(instrumental call-back)
If you’re not a friend,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, simple as everything,
It’s time Matthew's dead, whoa!
Simple as the day is long!
Then, you’ll say, (Start in to sing, then you’ll be acting,)
That actor is bound to drown you,
Oh, (Turn on the drown, then kill myself,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the drown, then kill myself,)
That actor is bound to drown you,
Actor, actor, actor, actor, actor...mmm...
