Woah, oh, oh, oh
Pour the strongest wine
Woah, oh, oh
Pour the strongest

Twenty-sixteen, why'd it have to be
We would lose such great celebrities
It's so bizarro
I need to drown my sorrow
I need a flagon of the strongest wine

Patty Duke, Ron Glass, and Harper Lee
Leon Russell, Prince, and Bobby Vee
Joe Garagiola
And no kidding, Abe Vigoda
I need a bucket of the strongest wine

Woah, oh, oh, oh
Pour the strongest wine
Woah, oh, oh
Pour the strongest

David Bowie and Pat Harrington
Alan Rickman, Florence Henderson
Muhammed Ali
The voice of Joe Alaskey
I need a barrel of the strongest wine

Maybe I am taking this wrong
There could be a plan
In place all along
Maybe they all joined in a pact
They're all coming back
As celebrity zombies

Garry Shandling and George Kennedy
Garry Marshall and Dan Haggerty
And Leonard Cohen
Robert Vaughn and John McLaughlin
I need a truckload of the strongest wine

Has there ever been such a year
Where star after star
Just all disappear
Maybe we should hold our blessings near
And hang on to good cheer
'Cause we've still got Bill Shatner

Anton Yelchin left us much too soon
And Gene Wilder, no one is immune
And Morley Safer
Merle Haggard, Kenny Baker
I intend to drink all of the strongest wine

Woah, oh, oh
Pour the strongest wine
Woah, oh, oh
Don't forget Glenn Frey
Woah, oh, oh
Pour the strongest wine
Woah, oh, oh
