After I've Gone..I'm talkin' dyin'
After I've Gone...won't be much cryin'
I'll be blue..cold as a shad
I'll miss the dearest pal that I ever had..

That time will come...who can forget it?
They'll say, "That bum!" most won't regret it
Some day, who knows exactly,
Two lines of "Obit" they'll write, matter of fact-ly
After I've Gone...After I've Gone...away

After I've Passed...from this old norm world
Embalmed and cast...down in that worm world
They'll stand...over my coffin
Old friends and fam'ly...who have not seen me often
After I've Gone...After I've Gone...away

After I've Gone...Don't think I'll need wings
Fam'ly will come...big fight for my things
Someday..when I meet my plight sod
They'll read the will and say, "My God, what a tightwad!"
After I've Gone...After I've Gone...away

After I've Gone...After I've Gone...away
