I'm planning my own funeral
So you may get it right
Dad will not know who to call
He’ll pick a dress too tight
Do not let Susie do my hair
She screwed it up last time
Get someone from that Fancy Kare
Put on your father's dime
Don't choose flowers that make me sneeze
Get ones that will survive
Pick music from the great BeeGees
How ‘bout "Stayin' Alive"
When time to read my eulogy
Don't let my cousin speak
Ten years since she has talked to me
Some secrets she would leak
When read, it may be a surprise
Some things about your mom
I'll know, kids if you roll your eyes
Know where I’m coming from?
Have the obituary show
Newspaper's second page
Use picture from ten years ago
Don’t let them pad my age
If dad finds someone else too soon
Then takes her out to flaunt
Tell him that I'll sing him a tune
When I come down to haunt
While at the cemetery plot
Would you please hold my hand?
And please come visit me a lot
More than head buried in sand
/ And when it's time to bury me
You'll be at my grave sight
My last request is that I'll be
At rest with a night light
