Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died

And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling

And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this way

You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say

Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:


Chorus:
Please don't bury me

Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all around

Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears

If they don't mind the size
Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer

Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get "em" out of here
Venus de Milo can have my arms

Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to Rose


Repeat Chorus


Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy

Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie

Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my $$# goodbye


Repeat Chorus
