“When I quit this mortal shore
And mosey’round this earth no more,
Don’t weep, don’t sigh don’t grieve,
Don’t sob;
I may have struck a better job.
Don’t go and buy a large bouquet
For which you’ll find it hard to pay.
Don’t stand around me looking blue;
I may be better off than you!
In fact I’m probably in the yonder blue,
Shooting birdies and par’s with you know who!” Dorothy
