Spirit In The Sky (as made famous by Norman Greenbaum)

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that’s the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
I’m goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That’s where I’m gonna go when I die (--when I die--)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best
(--Hello world--)
(--Hello world--)
Prepare yourself
You know it’s a must (--a must--)
You gotta have a friend in Jesus (--Jesus--)
So you know that when you die
It’s gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky
Gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky
That’s where ya gonna go when you die (--when you die--)
When you die and they lay you to rest
You’re gonna go to the place that’s the best

But I’ve got a friend in Jesus
So ya know that when I die
It’s gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky (--spirit in the sky--)
