[length: 02:51]
[00:01.52]Woke up this morning
[00:04.01]Put on my slippers
[00:06.69]Walked in the kitchen and died
[00:11.17]And oh what a feeling
[00:12.97]When my soul
[00:14.25]Went thru the ceiling
[00:15.81]And on up into heaven I did ride
[00:20.67]When I got there they did say
[00:22.92]John, it happened this way
[00:25.43]You slipped upon the floor
[00:27.54]And hit your head
[00:30.55]And all the angels say
[00:32.61]Just before you passed away
[00:35.36]These were the very last words
[00:37.38]That you said
[00:40.63]Please don’t bury me
[00:42.46]Down in that cold cold ground
[00:44.95]No, I’d druther have ’em cut me up
[00:47.60]And pass me all around
[00:50.13]Throw my brain in a hurricane
[00:52.47]And the blind can have my eyes
[00:54.78]And the deaf can take both of my ears
[00:57.16]If they don’t mind the size
[00:59.02]
[01:05.76]Give my stomach to Milwaukee
[01:07.70]If they run out of beer
[01:10.37]Put my socks in a cedar box
[01:12.34]Just get ’em out of here
[01:15.11]Venus de Milo can have my arms
[01:17.48]Look out! I’ve got your nose
[01:19.65]Sell my heart to the junkman
[01:21.93]And give my love to Rose
[01:24.31]But please don’t bury me
[01:26.56]Down in that cold cold ground
[01:29.02]No, I’d druther have ’em cut me up
[01:31.48]And pass me all around
[01:33.91]Throw my brain in a hurricane
[01:36.26]And the blind can have my eyes
[01:38.68]And the deaf can take both of my ears
[01:41.10]If they don’t mind the size
[01:43.00]
[02:03.68]Give my feet to the footloose
[02:05.90]Careless, fancy free
[02:08.13]Give my knees to the needy
[02:10.32]Don’t pull that stuff on me
[02:12.82]Hand me down my walking cane
[02:15.09]It’s a sin to tell a lie
[02:17.51]Send my mouth way down south
[02:19.95]And kiss my ass goodbye
[02:22.25]But please don’t bury me
[02:24.46]Down in that cold cold ground
[02:26.85]No, I’d druther have “em” cut me up
[02:29.19]And pass me all around
[02:31.63]Throw my brain in a hurricane
[02:33.93]And the blind can have my eyes
[02:36.34]And the deaf can take both of my ears
[02:38.89]If they don’t mind the size
