We Will All Go Together When We Go
When you attend a funeral
It is 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 think of other adject-
Ives to think of all the weeping they will do
(But don't you worry)
No more ashes, no more sack cloth
And an arm band made of black cloth
Will someday never more adorn a sleeve
For if the bomb that drops on you
Gets your friends and neighbors 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,
Yes, we all will go together when we go
We will all go together when we go
All suffused with an incandescent glow
No one will have the endurance
To collect on his insurance
Lloyds of London will be loaded when they go
We will all fry together when we fry
We'll be french fried potatoes bye and bye
There will be no more misery
When the world is our rotisserie,
Yes, we all will fry together when we fry
Down by the old maelstrom
There'll be a storm before the calm
And we'll all bake together when we bake
There'll be nobody present at the wake
With complete participation,
In that grand incineration
Nearly three billion hunks of well-done steak
We will all char together when we char
And let there be no moaning at the bar
Just sing out a Te Deum
When you see that ICBM
And the party will be "come as you are"
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
You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas
Go directly Do not pass GO Do not collect two hundred dolla's
And we will all go together when we go
Ev'ry Hottentot and ev'ry 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
