[Verse 1]

There is something strange down by the cemetery

Emptying the graves left and right

Ghastly schemes and ghoulish undertakings

Underneath the pale moonlight

[Verse 2]

Curse the day they invented the crematory

What a foolish waste of potential sales

It’s a damn shame to discard inventory

Think outside the box if all else fails

[Hook]

Death is my business and business is good!

[Chorus]

There’s a grave robber at large

Ripping bodies from hallowed ground

Desecrate those who rest in peace

There’s profit to be made from the recent deceased

[Verse 3]

Skeletal remains are safe in the ossuary

They’re quite stale and not worth a dime

Don’t think me a fiend, this is strictly monetary

Fortune calls and I’ll answer this time

[Verse 4]

In this occupation timing is instrumental

A matter of hours can plummet the price

The fact it’s a crime is simply incidental

Freshness is key, nothing else will suffice

[Hook]

Death is my business and business is good!

[Chorus]

There’s a grave robber at large

Ripping bodies from hallowed ground

Desecrate those who rest in peace

There’s profit to be made from the recent deceased

[Verse 5]

Midnight meetings inside the graveyard

Crunching numbers, breaking the earth

I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty

Even if things seem a bit perverse

[Verse 6]

Do these deeds weigh heavy on my soul?

I will no doubt sleep perfectly sound

While you struggle to keep your conscience

A garden of riches rots in the ground

[Hook]

Death is my business and business is good!

[Chorus]

There’s a grave robber at large

Ripping bodies from hallowed ground

Desecrate those who rest in peace

There’s profit to be made from the recent deceased

[Hook]

Death is my business and business is good!
