Oh, Lay Me Down In Forest Lawn In A Silver Casket
With Golden Flowers Over My Head In A Silver Basket
Let The Drum And Bugle Corp Play Taps While Cannons Roar
Sixteen Libereed Employees Sell Souvenirs From The Funeral Store

I Wanna Go Simply When I Go
They'll Give Me A Simple Funeral There I Know
With The Casket Lined In Fleece
And The Fireworks Spelling Out "Rest In Peace"
So Take Me When I'm Gone To Forest Lawn

Oh, Lay Me Down In Forest Lawn They Understand There
They Have A Heavenly Choir In The Military Band There
Just Put Me In Their Care I'll Find My Comfort There
With Sixteen Planes In The Last Salut They'll Drop A Cross In A Parachute

I Wanna Go Simply When I Go
They'll Give Me A Simple Funeral There I Know
With A Hundred Strolling Strings
And Topless Dancers With Golden Wings
Oh, Take Me When I'm Gone To Forest Lawn

Oooh, Come, Come, Come, Come
Come To The Church In The Wild Wood
Kindly Leave A Contribution In The Pail
Be As Simple And As Trusting As A Child Would
And We'll Sell You The Church In The Dale

To Find A Simple Resting Place Is My Desire
To Lay Me Down With A Smiling Face Comes A Little Bit Higher
My Likeness Cast In Brass Will Stand In Plastic Gras
While Hidden Weights Andsprings Tips
It's Hat To The Mourners Filing Past

I Wanna Go Simply When I Go
They'll Give Me A Simple Funeral There I Know
I'll Lie Beneath The Sand
With Piped-in Tapes Of Billy Graham
Oh, Take Me When I'm Gone To Forest Lawn

Rock Of Ages Cleft For Me For A Slightly Higher Fee
Oh, Take Me When I'm Gone To Forest Lawn
