Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket
Put golden flowers over
my head in a silver basket
Let the drum and bugle corp play taps while the cannons roar
And
sixteen libertied employees sell souvenirs from the funeral store
I want to go simply when
I go
They'll give me a simple funeral there I know
With a casket lined in fleece
And
fireworks spelling out rest in peace
Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn
Oh lay me
down in Forest Lawn they understand there
They have a heavenly choir and a military band
there
Just put me in their care I'll find my comfort there
With sixteen planes and a last
salute they'll drop across in a parachute
I want to 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
Oh, come, come, come,
come
Come to the church in the wild wood
Kindly leave a contribution in the pale
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 grass
While hidden weights and
springs tip it's hat to the mourners filing passed
I want to 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
