When the last, breath of life Is gone from, my body And my lips, are as cold as the sea When my friends gather 'round For my farewell party Won't you, pretend you love me There will be flowers from those Who cry, when I'm gone And leave you in this, world alone I know you'll have fun At my farewell party I know, you'll be glad, when I'm gone Don't be mad at me, for wanting to keep you Till my life on this old world is through You'll be free at the end of my farewell party But I'll go away loving you There will be flowers from those Who cry, when I'm gone And leave you in this, world alone I know you'll have fun At my farewell party I know, you'll be glad, when I'm gone Oh, I know you'll be glad when I'm gone.
