There was a mummy at the fair, All crumpled in a folding chair. The people passed, but didn’t care That the mummy was a man,

So tell me if you can.

Who are you? Who are you?
Where have you been, where are you going to?
Well, Andrew McCrew must have lost his way, ‘Cause though he died long ago he was buried today.

—Don McLean
