When the last breath of life
Is gone from my body
And my lips are as cold as the sea
When my friends gather around
For my farewell party
Won't you pretend you love me
There will be flowers from those
Who cry when I go
And leave you in this old 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 go
And leave you in this old world alone
I know you'll have fun
At my farewell party
I know you'll be glad
When I'm gone
Yes I know you'll be glad
When I'm gone
