Story behind the song
I wrote the song in 1994 when Jack Kevorkian was in the news--and now that he's back in the news (as a Congressional Candidate!) I had to trot it out again.
Lyrics
She's gone--my life is over 'cause she's gone;
There's just no way that I can carry on:
How can I linger? I can't smile;
I'll settle things in '90s style;
I'll call on that funny old duffer
Who can end everything that I suffer:
Who his my bag? I've got to pack
I've got a date with Dr. Jack--
I'll go Cavorting With Kevorkian;
He's heard my tale of pain and woe
And he agrees--it's time to go--
I'll go Cavorting With Kevorkian;
He knows my baby left me;
He know why I feel blue--
And so the Doctor told me,
"I know what I would do,
If I were you."
And so there isn't any doubt:
I've got my funeral suit picked out--
I'll go Cavorting With Kevorkian.
Oh, Doc--my baby's been so mean--
Break out your Suicide Machine;
I'll go Cavorting With Kevorkian;
Just look at every hope I've lost--
Start piping in that car exhaust;
I'll go Cavorting With Kevorkian;
He knows my heart is broken--
That it can never mend;
And so the Doctor told me,
"A quick and painless end
Is YOU, my friend."
So on that matter I've been sold--
Can't wait until my body's cold;
I'll go Cavorting With Kevorkian!
