Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Paxton
[00:06.80] Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket,
[00:11.11] Put golden flowers over my head in a silver basket.
[00:15.64] Let the drum and bugle corp play taps while cannons roar
[00:19.73] And sixteen liveried employees sell souvenirs from the funeral store.
[00:23.67] I want to go simply when I go,
[00:27.63] They'll give me a simple funeral there I know,
[00:31.68] With a casket lined in fleece
[00:33.65] And fireworks spelling out "rest in peace."
[00:35.75] So take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn.
[00:39.26] Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn, they understand there.
[00:43.67] They have a heavenly choir and a military band there.
[00:47.77] Just put me in their care, I'll find my comfort there
[00:51.62] With sixteen planes in a last salute they'll drop a cross in a parachute.
[00:55.58] I want to go simply when I go,
[00:59.59] They'll give me a simple funeral there I know:
[01:03.65] With a hundred strolling strings
[01:05.57] And topless dancers with golden wings!
[01:07.58] Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn.
[01:10.94] Oh, come, come, come, come,
[01:15.65] Come to the church in the wildwood,
[01:21.57] Kindly leave a contribution in the pail.
[01:27.97] Be as simple and as trusting as a child would
[01:34.69] And we'll sell you the church in the dale.
[01:41.94] To find a simple resting place is my desire;
[01:46.15] To lay me down with a smiling face comes a little bit higher.
[01:50.59] My likeness cast in brass will stand in plastic grass
[01:54.54] While hidden weights and springs tip it's hat to the mourners filing past!
[01:58.84] I want to go simply when I go.
[02:02.55] They'll give me a simple funeral there I know.
[02:06.52] I'll lie beneath the sand
[02:08.54] With piped in tapes of Billy Graham.
[02:10.68] Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn.
[02:13.58] Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
[02:18.38] For a slightly higher fee!
[02:22.63] Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn!
[02:28.33] Amen!
