Denny's

I've been thinkn' a lot lately about dyin',
I think about death every day
I'm not too worried about heaven or 'bout hell,
I just think that I'l look dumb when I've passed away

We're pretty big on tradition here in Minnesota,
Gotta have a polka band when you wed
They give you a big gold watch, when you retire,
And they all go out for brunch when you're dead

And oh, don't cry at my funeral
Rest assured I'm restin' just fine
'Cause beyond the grave, I see everybody eatin' breakfast,
And I know you havin' a real good time (without me)

Chorus:

When I die, don't go to Denny's
Don't go to Denny's when I'm dead and gone
When it's after the funeral, and you want something to eat,
Don't go, 'cause I can't go along

They lay you in a grave, in your best clothes
I'm in trouble 'cause I don't even own a suit
I guess a pair of ragged jeans, and a dirty baseball cap
And a heavy metal t-shirt just won't do

Lying in a grave that's ten feet under
Isn't anyone's idea of fun
Maybe I'll be cremated, and spread out on the roads,
That's way I'll be useful when I'm gone

And oh, you don't get any food in the afterlife
No you're food for worms when you die
So save me a seat, and order me some pancakes
A BLT and fries and a coke ('cause I'm dead)

When I die, don't go to Denny's
Don't go to Denny's when I'm dead and gone
I know watchin' a cremation, give you a might strong appetite
But don't go, 'cause I can't go...

When I die, don't go to Denny's
Don't go to Denny's when I'm dead and gone
You drink a bottomless cup of coffee, I'm at the bottomless pit of hell
But don't go cause I can't go along.
