Mr. Valentine's dead, and the angels are waiting down at the end of the bar. They're drinking martinis and laughing at nothing, smoking Habana cigars. (chorus)Continúa después del anuncioG Have you ever seen dead menEm dancing so lightly?G Have you ever heard corpses whoD sing?G Mr. Valentine's dead and the angelsC will take him,G But not 'till he's finished hisD G drink! Mr. Valentine's dead, but it won't slow him down. He's determined to stay on his feet. And he bangs on the table and orders a round, and he pays with the gold in his teeth. Mr. Valentine's dead, and he's singing in Spanish, wearing a rose in his hair. Now the angels are howling and drinking tequila, shooting their guns in the air. (chorus) Mr. Valentine's dead, but he still loves a party. He's always the last one to leave. He hangs down his head and he cries like a baby when the band plays Good Night Irene. Mr. Valentine's dead, but he never looked better! The priest will meet him tonight. Tell his mom to stop crying and the band to keep playing, ' cause the angels are too drunk to fly! (repeat chorus)
