When I Am Laid Out

When I am dead and they lie me out to view I wish not to be laid out in a suit and a tie, That is not the way that I want to have my final adieu So, I hope they do not dress me up after I die. On my feet I wish to wear some comfortable shoes And also I would like to wear a nice pair of dress jeans, My shirt doesn't have to make the mourner's reviews As I don't want to be known as being better than my means. Who knows how we are seen the day that we are judged Maybe, as I think we might be wearing nothing at all, So, this one thought of mine from which I will not be budged Will be the clothes that I will be wearing in the funeral hall. I want to be comfortable when I go to my final rest No parties do I think that I will be available to attend, All that I want is to be prepared for my next quest And the souls that I might meet, them I do not wish to offend.
