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. While sixteen liveried 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 a casket lined in fleece and the fireworks spelling out “Rest in Peace,” Oh, take me when I’m gone to Forest Lawn. ---

For days and nights, you sit around wondering, “Where can she be?” You’re hoiping that she will appear out of nowhere, But you fail to see All the hurt inside, the wounded pride She went through for you. You cheated and lied til her love slowly died, And her heart just tore in two. She was with you all along, Behind you, right or wrong. She tried to hold on, hold on, But you went too far. Now she’s gone. ---

They seek him here, they seek him there, His clothes are loud, but never square. It will make or break him so he’s got to buy the best, Cause he’s a dedicated follower of fashion. And when he does his little rounds, Round the boutiques of London town, Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends, Cause he’s a dedicated follower of fashion.
