Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn[00:00:01]

In a silver casket[00:00:03]

Put golden flowers over my head[00:00:06]

In a silver basket[00:00:08]

Let the drum and bugle corp[00:00:11]

Blow taps while the cannons roar[00:00:14]

And sixteen liveried employees[00:00:16]

Pass out souvenirs from the funeral store[00:00:18]

I want to go simply when I go[00:00:21]

They'll give me a simple funeral there[00:00:26]

I know[00:00:29]

With a casket lined in fleece[00:00:31]

And fireworks spelling out rest in peace[00:00:34]

Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn[00:00:37]

Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn[00:00:41]

They understand there[00:00:43]

And they have a heavenly choir[00:00:46]

And a military band there[00:00:48]

Just put me in their care[00:00:51]

I'll find my comfort there[00:00:54]

With sixteen planes and a last salute[00:00:56]

Dropping a cross in a parachute[00:00:59]

I want to go simply when I go[00:01:01]

They'll give me a simple funeral there I know[00:01:06]

With a hundred strolling strings[00:01:11]

And topless dancers with golden wings[00:01:14]

Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn[00:01:16]

Oh come come come come[00:01:23]

Come to the church in the wild wood[00:01:27]

Kindly leave a contribution in the pail[00:01:32]

Be as simple and as trusting as a child would[00:01:38]

And we'll sell you the church in the dale[00:01:45]

To find a simple resting place is my desire[00:01:53]

To lay me down with a smiling face[00:01:58]

Comes a little bit higher[00:02:01]

My likeness done in brass[00:02:04]

Will stand in plastic grass[00:02:06]

And weights and hidden springs tip[00:02:09]

It's hat to the mourners filing past[00:02:11]

I want to go simply when I go[00:02:14]

They'll give me a simple funeral there I know[00:02:19]

I'll lie beneath the sand[00:02:24]

With piped in tapes of Billy Graham[00:02:26]

Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn[00:02:29]

Rock of ages cleft for me[00:02:33]

For a slightly higher fee[00:02:40]

Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn[00:02:46]
