Is Anybody Gonna Miss You Lyrics & Chords By Neil Sedaka

Once I knew
A mean old man
Meaner than mean could be
Kicking dogs
And little children
Was his cup o'tea
Came the day that he died
No one prayed for his soul
Now he's fuel for the devil's fire
Burning like a piece of coal

Is anybody gonna miss you?
Is anybody gonna cry?
Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella
Too bad he had to die
Who's gonna be your salvation
When it's time to go?
Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven
Or wish you down below?
Or wish you down below?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah

There are those
Who may say
When you're gone, you're gone
And on the other hand there are those who say
That your soul lives on
I'm not sure
And you're not sure
Where the road may lead
But if there's a light at the end of that tunnel
Get all the help you'll need

Is anybody gonna miss you?
Is anybody gonna cry?
Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella
Too bad he had to die
Who's gonna be your salvation
When it's time to go?
Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven
Or wish you down below?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah

Every hand
That you shake
Is like a savings bond
And every smile is a down payment for a ticket to the great beyond
There's no man on this earth
Who couldn't use an extra friend
So tell me what's wrong with a little insurance
When you reach the end

Is anybody gonna miss you?
Is anybody gonna cry?
Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella
Too bad he had to die
Who's gonna be your salvation
When it's time to go?
Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven
Or wish you down below?

Is anybody gonna miss you?
Is anybody gonna cry?
Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella
Too bad he had to die
Who's gonna be your salvation
When it's time to go?
Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven
Or wish you down below?
