lyrics

I'm going to a funeral so please don't make me late,
A man is waiting for me just outside the pearly gates
He'll go through my life story and then decide my fate
Don't make me late,
Cause he can't wait,
I've gotta see a man outside the pearly gates

Only just a while ago I sat there feeling fine
And now I'm at a funeral I can't believe it's mine
So just reflect upon me as you sit there in your lines
Last week I was fine
Now this funeral is mine
Just reflect upon me cause it is my time

Instrumental Break

I’ll get to meet my granddad that I've never met before
I hope he will be waiting just behind that pearly door
With friends and my relations and oh so many more
So, open the door
I emplore
I want to meet my rellies that have gone before

I'll be looking down on you so you must not be sad
You better say good things about me please say nothing bad
It was so good to know you which makes me feel so glad
So don't be sad
Just be glad
Remembering the good times that we all had

And soon I will be bidding you my very last goodbye
So I can start my journey to my new home in the sky
I hope I get my angel wings so I can learn to fly
Say goodbye
Cause I must fly
I have to meet my maker in the sky

I'm going to a funeral so please don't make me late,
A man is waiting for me just outside the pearly gates
He'll go through my life story and then decide my fate
Don't make me late,
Cause he can't wait,
I've gotta see a man outside the pearly gates
Don't make me late,
Cause he can't wait,
I've gotta see a man outside the pearly gates
