Sion.
Oh lay me down in forest lawn in a silver casket
Put golden flowers over my head in a silver
basket
Let the drum and bugle corp play taps while the
cannons roar
And sixteen libertied employees sell souvenirs
from the funeral store
I want to go simply when I go
They値l give me a simple funeral there I know
With a casket lined in fleece
And fireworks spelling out rest in peace
Oh take me when I知 gone to forest lawn
Oh lay me down in forest lawn they understand
there
They have a heavenly choir and a military band
there
Just put me in their care I値l find my comfort
there
With sixteen planes and a last salute they値l
drop across in a parachute
I want to go simply when I go
They値l give me a simple funeral there I know
With a hundred strolling strings
And topless dancers with golden wings
Oh take me when I知 gone to forest lawn
Oh, come, come, come, come
Come to the church in the wild wood
Kindly leave a contribution in the pale
Be as simple and as trusting as a child would
And we値l sell you the church in the dale
To find a simple resting place is my desire
To lay me down with a smiling face comes a little
bit higher
My likeness cast in brass will stand in plastic
grass
While hidden weights and springs tip it痴 hat to
the mourners filing passed
I want to go simply when I go
They値l give me a simple funeral there I know
I値l lie beneath the sand
With piped in tapes of billy graham
Oh take me when I知 gone to forest lawn
Rock of ages cleft for me
Forest痴 lightly higher fee
Oh take me when I知 gone to forest lawn
Amen
