The Resurrectionist lyrics

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 a 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

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
