Lyrics website lists the 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 the 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
"
