What a Wonderful Way To Go
I don’t want to die, but if I do
Maybe while making love to you
I wouldn’t want a painful death
A painless sleep for my last breath
I’d like to think that when I go
I’ll be watching my favourite show
I’d die happy while laughing aloud
Being the happiest person under a shroud
Reading a book and having a laugh
I might fall asleep and drown in the bath
It might be nice to go out in style
Eating, drinking and wearing a smile
Lovely thoughts running through my head
To last me right through to my death bed
I can’t stand heights so I don’t like that
I don’t want to die falling over the cat
Remembering things that I love so
What a wonderful way to go
As long as I don’t have a fatal fall
I’d really prefer not to die at all
