When I go to join the departed, I don't want my heart jump-started

I don't want nobody bringin' me back here

I don't wanna make some fool a hero

Just leave my pulse right there at zero

I don't want no stranger slobberin' on my lips

If I should die alone in bed, if I should fall and hit my head

One thing you gotta promise me, please when I go just let me be

Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, don't cry for me, cause I won't feel the pain

Don't you go doin' me no favors, doctor, you can shove that respirator

It's been fun, but now it's done, boys, I'm outta here

Don't dress me up, don't comb my hair

When I'm dead as dirt, then I won't care

Buy some plywood at the Home depot; have my brothers build a box

No, I don't want no fancy flowers

People hangin' round my house for hours

Dig a hole on the front lawn and play somethin' that rocks

If I should die alone in bed; if I should fall and hit my head

One thing you gotta promise me, please when I go just let me be

Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, I'm goin' where it never rains

No, I'm not talkin' bout California

Lay me out and I'll be back to haunt ya

It's been fun, but now it's done, boys I'm outta here

Don't go lookin' for my memoirs, I'll tell it all right now

It's not all that exciting, no need to write it down

I was good, then I was bad, then I was good, then I was bad

Then I was bad, but in the very end then I was good again

Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, don't cry for me, I won't feel the pain

Don't you go puttin' yourself in hawk

I'll be with Elvis singin' Jailhouse Rock

Well it's been fun, but now it's done, boys I'm outta here

Adios, Auf Wiedersehen
