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 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 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 From the dead
