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
