The Resurrectionist

Crossing Blackfriar's Bridge to Guy's Then back to Bart's for a better price Our goods are dear but they're never shoddy Tell me: anybody need a body From a resurrectionist? Medical scientist We've all got to earn ourselves a living All it takes is a little bit of digging By a resurrectionist I met a man down Thieving Lane He told me he was in the same game We both talked the same body language On Newgate Street we saw the hanging Of a resurrectionist Medical scientist We've all got to earn ourselves a living All it takes is a little bit of digging By a resurrectionist Got a nice thing for the right punter He used to be a fogle hunter We had a drink then a couple more At the King of Denmark and the Fortune of War A handsome lad lay in a Hansom cab Soon to be a stiff 'un on the slab From a resurrectionist Medical scientist We've all got to earn ourselves a living All it takes is a little bit of digging By a resurrectionist We don't bring them back to life But we do bring them back From the dead
