	作词 : Paxton
	Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket
	put golden flowers over my head in a silver basket
	While the drum and bugle corps
	play taps while cannons roar
	while sixteen liveried employees
	Sell souvenirs from the funeral store.
	I want to go simply when I go
	they'll give me a simple funeral there I know
	With a casket lined in fleece
	And fireworks spelling out 'rest in peace'
	Oh, take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn
	Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn they understand there
	they have a heavenly choir and military band there
	Just put me in their care
	I'll find my comfort There
	with sixteen planes in a last salute
	they'll drop a cross in a parachute.
	I want to go simply when I go,
	they'll give me a simple funeral there I know
	With a hundred strolling strings
	and topless dancers in　golden in golden wings.
	Oh, take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn.
	Oh, come, come, come, come.
	Come to the church in the wild wood
	kindly leave a contribution in the pail.
	be as simple and as trusting as a child would
	and we'll sell you the church in the dale.
	To find a simple resting place is my desire
	to lay me down with a smiling face comes a little bit higher.
	My likeness cast in brass
	will stand in plastic grass
	while hidden weights and springs
	tips my hat to the mourners filing past
	I want to go simply when I go
	they'll give me a simple funeral there I know
	I'll lie beneath the sand
	with piped in tapes of Billy Graham.
	Oh, take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn.
	Rock of ages cleft for me, for a slightly higher fee
	Oh, take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn
