Lyrics:
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
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best.
Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best

Never heard it that way, _but so true!_ I love Norman's guitar version best because it always brings me back to June, 1970 [the entire Summer, actually!]. I say this as a *gnostic atheist.* _I just hate the lyrics!_ And THIS version is a failure.

I thought that the Kumars were fantastic! I have been accused of racism for liking them - NEVER by Asians, I might add - but they are genuinely funny. Why shouldn't we have a laugh with our friends from other cultures - they laugh at us too, especially during the cricket season. Love you guys!
