The parting song


Baya, baya
Baya, baya, ba-baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
Baya, baya
Baya, baya, ba-baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya

When I die just let me burn
Gather my ashes, put them in an urn
And leave them on the mantelpiece
When the angels come for you
Can you tell the others to burn you, too?
So we can go together

Tell the lawyers and the family, too
"This is what they've gotta do
It’s what I want
It's what she wants
It's what we want
Wherever I go, she will follow"

Baya, baya
Baya, baya, ba-baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya

Wait for a fine spring day
The kind of day that makes you sway
And take us to the ocean
Throw us from the highest place
And let us sail with grace
As the tide is turning

(Baya, baya)
This is what you’ve gotta do (Baya, baya)
Don't let them mislead you (B-B-B-Baya, baya)
It's what I want
It's what he wants
It's what we want (B-B-B-Baya, baya)
Wherever he goes, I will follow

Baya, baya
Baya, baya, ba-baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
Baya, baya
Baya, baya, ba-baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya

Tell the lawyers and the family, too
This is what they have to do
It's what I want
It's what he wants
It's what we both want
Wherever he goes, I will follow

Baya, baya
Baya, baya, ba-baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
Baya, baya
Baya, baya, ba-baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
Baya, baya
Baya, baya, ba-baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
B-B-B-Baya, baya
Baya, baya
