"Get Me to the Grave on TIme"

I’m getting’ buried in the morning,
So long, farewell, a toast: “Lahaim!”
Just my bad luck it’s
Time to kick the bucket
So get me to the grave on time.

I’m getting’ buried in the mornin’
And tho’ it sorta sucks that I’m
Head-to-toe gangrenous
Y’know, just between us,
I’ll gladly go if it’s my time.

When I’m declinin’, give me no drug
When I’m flat-linin’, won’t you pull the plug?

‘Cause I’m gettin’ buried in the mornin’
Don’t let me linger on if I’m
Not gonna rally --
Please don’t let me dally
Just get me to the grave …
Yes, get me to the grave …
For Gawd’s sake get me to the grave on time.

[ musical interlude ]

Forget to carry on in mournin’
No throng should yell “His death’s a crime!”
Just pack me off in
A sack sans a coffin
And cook my corpse down with quicklime.

Please, when you see my muscles go slack
Don’t use those paddles to try and bring me back

‘Cause I’m getting’ buried in the mornin’
And, tho’, I won’t pretend that I’m
Glad that my prognosis,
Is nothing but necrosis,
Please get me to the grave…
Yes, get me to the grave
For Gawd’s sake get me to the grave on time.
