Lyrics
Three dead gophers
Three gophers are deceased.
All named Harvey,
All three gophers were named Harvey.
Sitting around drinking,
The gophers were together, engaged in drinking.
All at a party,
They were at a gathering or social event.
If they weren't dead
If the gophers were alive, their partying would be more lively.
Their party'd be hardey,
A pun on "hardy" to emphasize the liveliness of the party if they were alive.
Not too much to do
There's limited or nothing to do with the bodies of the deceased gophers.
With three dead gopher bodies,
Having three dead gopher bodies doesn't offer much activity or purpose.
Three dead gophers
Reiteration of the fact that there are three deceased gophers.
The furry little beasts,
Describing the gophers as small, furry animals.
Three dead gophers
Repeating the quantity of deceased gophers.
Too bad they're deceased
Expressing regret or sadness about their death.
Three dead gophers
Reiteration of the fact that there are three deceased gophers.
All named Harvey,
Reiteration that all three gophers were named Harvey.
Three dead gophers
Reiteration of the quantity of deceased gophers.
Not the life of the party
The gophers, being deceased, weren't lively or the life of the party.
My heart and soul
Expressing strong emotional attachment to the gophers despite their demise.
In their little hole,
Their home (hole) held great significance and affection.
I love them to the end,
Expressing enduring love and care for the gophers.
They were my furry friends.
Confirming the strong bond and friendship with the deceased gophers.
