	In response to an earlier request, here are the words to
		*** We Will All Go Together When We Go***.

	(recitative)
When you attend a funeral,
It is sad to think that sooner o'
Later those you love will do the same for you.
And you may have thought it tragic,
Not to mention other adjectives,
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
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.

(chorus)
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,
Lloyd's  of London will be loaded when they go.

We will all fry together when we fry.
We'll be French fried potatoes by and by.
There will be no more misery
	when the world is our rotisserie,
Yes we all will fry together when we fry.

(slower)
Down by the old maelstrom,
There'll be a storm before the calm.

(a tempo)
And we will 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 of the bar.
Just sing out a Te Deum
	when you see that I.C.B.M.,
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.

(freely)

You will all go directly
	to your respective Valhallas.
Go directly,  do not pass,
	do not collect two hundred dollahs.

(a tempo)

And we will all go together when we go,
Ev'ry Hottentot 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.
