RIP. I always thought part of those lyrics were “a Saturday knife”, instead of “start a new life.”

“Take a death certificate, Maria (ba badaba ba ba)
Address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer
Gotta start a new life...”

“Take a letter, Maria” always got a lot of airtime, even after the 60’s and up to now. I sure liked hearing it. RIP.
