Transcript

00:00Woke up this morning, put on my slippers, walked in the kitchen and died

00:12And oh, what a feeling when my soul went through the ceiling

00:18And on up into heaven I did a ride

00:21When I got there they'd say, Johnny happened this way

00:27He slipped upon the floor and hid your head

00:30And all the angels say, just before you passed away

00:36These were the very last words that he said

00:39Please don't bury me down in the cold, cold ground

00:45I'd rather have them cut me up, pass me all around

00:50Put my brain in a hurricane, the blanket at my eyes

00:55And the death would take both of my ears if they'd open my eyes

00:59If they'd open my eyes

01:00Give my stomach to Milwaukee if they run out of beer

01:24Put my socks in a cedar box, just get them out of here

01:29Venus and Milo can have my arms look out, I got your nose

01:33Sell my heart to the junk man and give my love to Rose

01:38But please don't bury me down in the cold, cold ground

01:44I'd rather have them cut me up, pass me all around

01:49Put my brain in a hurricane, the blanket at my eyes

01:54And the death would take both of my ears if they'd open my eyes

01:58Give my feet to the foot boost, careless, fancy, free

02:13Give my knees to the needy

02:16Don't pull that stuff on me

02:30Hand me down my walking cane, it's a sin to tell a rat

02:35Send my mouth, wait outside, and kiss my ass goodbye

02:40But please don't bury me down in the cold, cold ground

02:45I'd rather have them cut me up, pass me all around

02:50Put my brain in a hurricane, the blanket at my eyes

02:54And the death would take both of my ears if they'd open my eyes

02:59Hold my brain

03:14I'll rest in the cold, strong, sticky, päin

03:15And I'll rest in the cold as I dry

03:19When I wasهم there

03:23And the death would come down
