We Will All Go Together When We Go
When you attend a funeral
It’s sad to think that sooner or later
Those you love will do the same for you
And you may have thought it tragic
Not to mention other adjec-
Tives to think of all the weeping they will do

But don’t you worry

No more ashes
No more sackcloth
And an armband made of black cloth
Or someday never more adorn a sleeve
For if the bomb that drops on you
Gets your friends and family too
There’ll be nobody left behind to grieve

And we will all go together when we go
What a comforting fact that is to know
Universal bereavement
An inspiring achievement!
We all will go together when we go

We will all go together when we go
All infused with an incandescent glow
No one will have the endurance
To collect on their insurance
And Aviva will be loaded when they go
We will all fry together when we fry
We’ll be french fried potatoes by-and-by
We will all be hunks of mutton when they press that big red button
Yes we all will fry together when we fry

One day we’ll all be dead and charred
So don’t pay off that credit card

And we will all bake together when we bake
There’ll be nobody present at your wake
With complete participation
In that grand incineration
Over seven billion hunks of well-done steak

We will all roast together when we roast
And you won’t have to redirect your post
When Kim Jong Un or ISIS
Cause that nuclear crisis
And turn the western world to well-burnt toast

We will all burn together when we burn
There’ll be no need to stand and wait your turn
When it’s time for the fallout
And Saint Peter calls us all out
We’ll just drop our agendas and adjourn
All at once the world will become an enormous rotisserie
No need to set an out of office reply
Or delete your internet history

And we will all go together when we go
Every Latvian and every Eskimo
When the air becomes uranious
We will all go simultaneous

Yes we all will go together when we
All go together
Yes we all will go together when we go
