I'm digging my own grave yes
I'm digging my own grave what money
I shall save all that money
I will save I'm doing it myself yes
I'm doing it myself with not a single elf
Not even one elf no
Not a single elf in my black velvet cape and hood
Digging my grave
Here in this dark and lonely wood
Digging my grave
From purple dusk to dreary dawn
Digging my grave
Ever since you've gone
Baby I'm making my own bed yes
I'm making my own bed
I'll lie here
When I'm dead elves will dwell in my head
