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]
