As we were going through my father’s stuff this weekend. I turned to the kid and said:

Just so you know,

All I want is a lavender coffin
White Cardenas all around
Swing bands playing a funeral march
As they roll me into the holy ground

All I want is eleven sweet maidens
They’re all singing that you’ve got to be hip
Singing around my lavender coffin
A-swinging on the funeral steps

Needless to say the kid was confused.

I love this song!!!!
