Funny that a guy with a name like Norm Greenbaum would have tunes with bad Christian theology and celebrating processed pork.

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
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
Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best

Never been a sinner. I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with 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
Go to the place that's the best

Seeing that image reminded me that Milk Cow was the B side to the single. Can’t imagine why it wasn’t a hit as well:

Jethro got himself a milk cow
And he called her Bess
Jethro got himself a milk cow
And he called her Bess

Milk cow in the mornin’
Milk cow, oh, any time at all

He can tell the early of the mornin’
By the rooster call
He can tell the early of the mornin’
By the rooster call

Milk cow in the mornin’
Milk cow, oh, any time at all
Any time, any time at all
Any time

Give you a lifetime of pleasure
All she needs is love
Give you a lifetime of pleasure
And all she needs is love

Milk cow in the mornin’
Milk cow, oh, any time at all
Any time at all
Any time, any time
Any time at all
Any time

Jethro got himself a milk cow
