The Humanist Funeral

The coffin is draped in the national flag A mix of people who are happy and sad This is a testament to the humanist stand Welcome to a humanist funeral. "Always look on the bright side of life" Is played through the speakers to make you smile We're told he was "loving and good and kind" This was his humanist funeral. There'll be a beer at the end of the meeting His legacy given to all as a greeting A cheer up after your tears you'll be needing After the humanist funeral. The only thing spoken is what is the past Nothing of hope and the things that will last Logic expressed from the evolutionary blast That is preached at the humanist funeral. All of his friends have had a say Of good times of the past that came his way The coffin leaves to the tune of "my way" How sad the humanist funeral.
