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`ll be flowers from those who`ll cry
When I go and leave you in this old world alone
I know you`ll have fun at my farewell party
Won`t you 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, I`ll go away loving you.
There`ll be flowers from those who`ll cry
When I go and leave you in this old world alone
I know you`ll have fun at my farewell party
Won`t you be glad when I`m gone?
Oh, won`t you be glad when I`m gone?...
