There was a virus going 'round; papa caught it, and he died last spring
And now mama doesn’t seem to want to do much of anything

I love the speculation as to what the lyrics of the song mean. They made a film but I don’t think that’s what it’s about. What did they throw off the bridge? What could be so bad that he would commit suicide?
