When I die don't forget to feed my cat
And don't leave my casket open don't embarrass me like that
Just listen to these words and do as I've instructed
When I die
When I buy the farm
When I kick the bucket

When I die transplant my organs if you would
Cause I expect that some of them will still be workin' good
So doctor take my heart and kidneys and pack 'em quick on ice
When I die
When I bite the dust
Doctor don't think twice

And when I'm about to die
Don't hook me up to some machine
That'll keep me past my time by artificial means
Plastic tubes shoved up my nose
Wires hooked up to my brain
Needles drippin' breakfast, lunch, and dinner in my vein
Doctors and nurses proddin' and pokin'
Inspectin', injectin'
Grabbin', gropin'
I'm serious ya'll
If I'm ever in those shoes, you gotta promise me
You'll pull the plug out of the wall

When I die just listen to this song
And you'll know exactly what to do when I am gone
Cancel my subscriptions, disconnect the telephone
When I die
When the music stops
When I head for home
