Don'T Forget the Lipstick When I'M Gone
When I'm gone to my resting place
Please think of these, my final request.
Please put my makeup on my face.
Have my hair styled and in place.
Please put me on a frilly dress.
The costume jewelry is a must.
Make sure I have some fancy shoes,
Forget about the stupid rules.
Please make sure I have a purse,
God know I need one in the hearse.
Please put in it my favorite things,
Like pictures, compact, you know what I mean.
But most of all, please don't forget
Make sure I have lipstick upon my lips.
This may sound silly to some, I'm sure.
But to those, like me, well
I'm just a girl
