1
Woke up this morning
2
Put on my slippers
3
Walked in the kitchen and died
4
And oh what a feeling!
5
When my soul
6
Went thru the ceiling
7
And on up into heaven I did ride
8
When I got there they did say
9
John, it happened this way
10
You slipped upon the floor
11
And hit your head
12
And all the angels say
13
Just before you passed away
14
These were the very last words
15
That you said:
16
Chorus:
17
Please don't bury me
18
Down in that cold cold ground
19
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
20
And pass me all around
21
Throw my brain in a hurricane
22
And the blind can have my eyes
23
And the deaf can take both of my ears
24
If they don't mind the size
25
Give my stomach to Milwaukee
26
If they run out of beer
27
Put my socks in a cedar box
28
Just get "em" out of here
29
Venus de Milo can have my arms
30
Look out! I've got your nose
31
Sell my heart to the junkman
32
And give my love to Rose
33
Repeat Chorus
34
Give my feet to the footloose
35
Careless, fancy free
36
Give my knees to the needy
37
Don't pull that stuff on me
38
Hand me down my walking cane
39
It's a sin to tell a lie
40
Send my mouth way down south
41
And kiss my ass goodbye
42
Repeat Chorus
