Woke up this morning Put on my slippers Walked in the kitchen And diedAnd oh, what a feeling! When my soul Went through the ceiling And on up into heaven, I did rideWhen I got there, they did say "John, it happened this way You slipped upon the floor And hit your head"And all the angels say "Just before you passed away That these were the very last words That you said""Please dont bury me Down in that cold, cold ground No, Id rather have 'em cut me up And pass me all around""Throw my brain in a hurricane And the blind can have my eyes And the deaf can take both of my ears If they dont mind the size""Give my stomach to Milwaukee If they run out of beer Put my socks in a cedar box Just to get 'em out of here""Venus De Milo can have my arms Look out! I've got your nose Sell my heart to the junk man And give my love to Rose""But please dont bury me Down in that cold, cold ground Id rather have 'em cut me up And pass me all around""Throw my brain in a hurricane The blind can have my eyes And the deaf can take both of my ears If they dont mind the size, oh man!""Give my feet to the footloose Careless, fancy free And give my knees to the needy Dont pull that stuff on me""Hand me down my walking cane Its a sin to tell a lie Send my mouth way down south And kiss my ass goodbye""But, please dont bury me Down in that cold, cold ground Id rather have 'em cut me up And pass me all around""Throw my brain in a hurricane And the blind can have my eyes And the deaf can take both of my ears If they dont mind the size, that's right"
