A wonderous thing to see while alive

Emma Crawford Coffin Races since 95'

People come in from all around the nation

To see the spooky teams and coffin racin'

On them ghastly ghouls appear in paint

Some artistic projects both wild and quaint

You see these aren't boring average baskets

They're lightning fast death racing caskets

Rolling big wild style coffin racin' box

Faster than the fantasy painted on top

Teams compete quickly down the street

Swiftly as the slowest move there feet

It's a wild spectacle beyond all comparisons

In Manitou Springs for brave Americans

Takes place every year before Halloween

The spookiest fun that you ever have seen

Could be Riders in the Sky or Witches Brew

Many different themes these teams will do

Crowds line up and down the city streets

In Late October when competition meets

Their hair blows back as the coffins race by

The crowd goes wild as feet start to fly

I wonder what Emma would think of this today

From her Red Mountain coffin going M I A

Rolling big wild style coffin racin' box

Faster than the fantasy painted on top

Teams compete quickly down the street

Swiftly as the slowest move there feet

It's a wild spectacle beyond all comparisons

In Manitou Springs for the brave Americans

Takes place every year before Halloween

The spookiest fun that you ever have seen
