I can still remember
How those dice used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my lance
That I could make that critical chance
And, maybe, I'd be happy for a while.

But all those dungeons made me shiver
With each quest item I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn’t take one more step.

I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day that Gary died.

So bye-bye, Mr. D&D guy.
I took my elf down off my shelf
Yeah, but the paint wasn't dry
And them good old gamers were drinkin’ dew as they cried

Singin’, "this here is the day Gary died,"
"this here is the day Gary died."

Did you write the campaign journal,
Did you have faith in GM Fiat
If the PHB told you so?

Oh, I knew that you loved your elf
Wen I saw you place him on that shelf..
We all dumped our dice bags and counters..
...and digged them random encounters...

oooh...

I was a lonely teenage geeky guy
with a Heavy Metal T-Shirt and a rusty truck..
and I knew that we were out of luck...
The day that Gary died...

...and I was singing...

Bye-bye, Mr. D&D guy.
I took my elf down off my shelf
Yeah, but the paint wasn't dry
And them good old gamerss were drinkin’ dew as they cried

Singin’, "this here is the day Gary died,"
"this here is the day Gary died."
