Is Anybody Going To Miss You - Neil Sedaka

Once I knew

A mean old man

Meaner than mean could be

Kicking dogs

And little children

Was his cup o’tea

Came the day that he died

No one prayed for his soul

Now he’s fuel for the devil’s fire

Burning like a piece of coal

Is anybody gonna miss you?

Is anybody gonna cry?

Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella

Too bad he had to die

Who’s gonna be your salvation

When it’s time to go?

Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven

Or wish you down below?

Or wish you down below?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, yeah

There are those

Who may say

When you’re gone, you’re gone

And on the other hand there are those who say

That your soul lives on

I’m not sure

And you’re not sure

Where the road may lead

But if there’s a light at the end of that tunnel

Get all the help you’ll need

Is anybody gonna miss you?

Is anybody gonna cry?

Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella

Too bad he had to die

Who’s gonna be your salvation

When it’s time to go?

Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven

Or wish you down below?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, yeah

Every hand

That you shake

Is like a savings bond

And every smile is a down payment for a ticket to the great beyond

There’s no man on this earth

Who couldn’t use an extra friend

So tell me what’s wrong with a little insurance

When you reach the end

Is anybody gonna miss you?

Is anybody gonna cry?

Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella

Too bad he had to die

Who’s gonna be your salvation

When it’s time to go?

Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven

Or wish you down below?

Is anybody gonna miss you?

Is anybody gonna cry?

Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella

Too bad he had to die

Who’s gonna be your salvation

When it’s time to go?

Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven

Or wish you down below?
