When I leave this Earth behind
Bury me deep in the black Earth
I want my soul to hear the bells chime,
Before I leave to new birth,
When I go
I want my funeral to be a party
Not full of woe,
For all I care, be tarty!
When I die
Think of me often
But don't cry,
Not until I'm in the coffin,
When I am living no more
I want you to be happy
Not be sad forevermore,
Life is a party!
My dying wish is for you, my dear
To live as if you've never wept, you hear?
Let those tears succumb to the past
And let your laughter be what lasts
