Forest lawn(LP版)

Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket [00:00:00]

Put golden flowers over my head in a silver basket [00:00:05]

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

While the cannons roar [00:00:14]

And sixteen liveried employees pass out souvenirs[00:00:16]

From the funeral store[00:00:19]

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

They'll give me a simple funeral there I know[00:00:25]

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

And fireworks spelling out "rest in peace "[00:00:33]

Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn[00:00:36]

Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn they understand there [00:00:40]

And they have a heavenly choir and a military band there [00:00:45]

Just put me in their care I'll find my comfort there [00:00:50]

With sixteen planes and a last salute dropping a cross in a parachute [00:00:55]

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

They'll give me a simple funeral there I know [00:01:05]

With a hundred strolling strings[00:01:10]

And topless dancers with golden wings [00:01:12]

Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn[00:01:15]

Oh come come come come [00:01:22]

Come to the church in the wild wood [00:01:25]

Kindly leave a contribution in the pail [00:01:30]

Be as simple and as trusting as a child would [00:01:37]

And we'll sell you the church in the dale [00:01:43]

To find a simple resting place is my desire [00:01:52]

To lay me down with a smiling face comes a little bit higher [00:01:56]

My likeness done in brass will stand in plastic grass [00:02:01]

And weights and hidden springs tip[00:02:07]

It's hat to the mourners filing past [00:02:09]

I want to go simply when I go [00:02:12]

They'll give me a simple funeral there I know [00:02:16]

I'll lie beneath the sand[00:02:22]

With piped in tapes of Billy Graham [00:02:24]

Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn [00:02:27]

Rock of ages cleft for me[00:02:30]

For a slightly higher fee [00:02:37]

Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn[00:02:44]
