Lyrics
She always drives you too far
Right up to the edge.
You'd like to blow up her car
Or hit her with a sledge
The issue's not morality
And getting caught's remote
The question is more practical
A lifeless body floats
Chorus
So, What ya' gonna do with that body?
What ya' gonna do with that gal?
What ya' gonna do with that body?
Oh, How ya' gonna feel when she's gone?
Verse 2
Possibly a Bar-B-Que
The smell would be too strong
Maybe feed her to the cat
But that would take too long
Buy some lime, that ain't no crime
A shovel or some gas
But if you dig that hole you'll lose your soul
And maybe kill your grass!
Chorus
So! What ya' gonna do with that body?
What ya' gonna do with that gal?
What ya' gonna do with that body?
What ya' gonna do when she's gone?
