Afternoon Matinee: Protest - We Will All Go Together When We Go

Performed by Tom Lehrer

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 adjec-

Tives, 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 some day 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

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 suffuse 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

Oh 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 will all fry together when we fry

Down by the old maelstrom

There'll be a storm before the calm

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

Oh 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."

Oh 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

You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas

Go directly, do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred dolla's

And we will all go together when we go

Ev'ry Hottenhot an' ev'ry Eskimo

When the air becomes uranious

And 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
