My Friends and Family
I’ve baked my last pie on earth
But I don’t want you to cry
I’ve become a new citizen
Of the kitchen in the sky
The baking here is perfect
I never burn a thing
So don’t shed tears for me, my loves
I’m not closed, I’m opening
I made a cake for daddy
Had tea with Vic today
I even made lasagna
St. Peter said I may
Miss me but don’t mourn me
I’m quite alright you see
Just keep my spirit alive
In your thoughts and memory
And one day we will meet again
I’ll tell you where I’ll be
I’ll be waiting for you
In the kitchen, drinking tea

Gonna go up to the kitchen in the sky.
Gonna go up to the kitchen in the sky.
