Who says, no flowers, no cremation, just trying to enjoy this Friday!

No flowers for my wife or no one he says

You better not get them for my funeral day

I want to be buried by mom on the rez

Not interested in cremation, no way

****

You better not get them for my funeral day

Looking out my window to see Friday

Some say, fish dinner and an art show today

What can I do, it is me that makes the play

****

Looking out my window to see Friday

Later, a fun time, a trip down memory lane

I know what I do, it is me that makes the play

It will be better if I do not complain
