《Forest lawn(LP版)》歌词

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

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

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

[00:00:14] While the cannons roar

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

[00:00:19] From the funeral store

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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