《Forrest Lawn》歌词

[00:00:01] Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn

[00:00:03] In a silver casket

[00:00:06] Put golden flowers over my head

[00:00:08] In a silver basket

[00:00:11] Let the drum and bugle corp

[00:00:14] Blow taps while the cannons roar

[00:00:16] And sixteen liveried employees

[00:00:18] Pass out souvenirs from the funeral store

[00:00:21] I want to go simply when I go

[00:00:26] They'll give me a simple funeral there

[00:00:29] I know

[00:00:31] With a casket lined in fleece

[00:00:34] And fireworks spelling out rest in peace

[00:00:37] Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn

[00:00:41] Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn

[00:00:43] They understand there

[00:00:46] And they have a heavenly choir

[00:00:48] And a military band there

[00:00:51] Just put me in their care

[00:00:54] I'll find my comfort there

[00:00:56] With sixteen planes and a last salute

[00:00:59] Dropping a cross in a parachute

[00:01:01] I want to go simply when I go

[00:01:06] They'll give me a simple funeral there I know

[00:01:11] With a hundred strolling strings

[00:01:14] And topless dancers with golden wings

[00:01:16] Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn

[00:01:23] Oh come come come come

[00:01:27] Come to the church in the wild wood

[00:01:32] Kindly leave a contribution in the pail

[00:01:38] Be as simple and as trusting as a child would

[00:01:45] And we'll sell you the church in the dale

[00:01:53] To find a simple resting place is my desire

[00:01:58] To lay me down with a smiling face

[00:02:01] Comes a little bit higher

[00:02:04] My likeness done in brass

[00:02:06] Will stand in plastic grass

[00:02:09] And weights and hidden springs tip

[00:02:11] It's hat to the mourners filing past

[00:02:14] I want to go simply when I go

[00:02:19] They'll give me a simple funeral there I know

[00:02:24] I'll lie beneath the sand

[00:02:26] With piped in tapes of Billy Graham

[00:02:29] Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn

[00:02:33] Rock of ages cleft for me

[00:02:40] For a slightly higher fee

[00:02:46] Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn

[00:02:51] Forrest Lawn - Tom Paxton
