I'll Take My Flowers Right Now by The Barrino Brothers

I'll Take My Flowers Right Now Lyrics

Woo, ooh

What good is a pat upon my back
When I'm in my grave?
What good are words when I'm gone
Said in a pretty phrase?
Not the time to pat my back
It hurts when I'm disturbed
Now's the time to give me praise
So I can hear those words

I'll take my, my, my flowers
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Hee-hee-hee
Give me my flowers, oh, right now
Listen, ha

Brighten my week with your smile
Wish me the very best
A basket of roses won't keep me warm
When I'm laid to rest, oh
Life is short, don't wanna waste my time
If you'll be my friend
Don't wait until it's too late
And bring me flowers then, oh

I'll take my flowers
I got to have 'em right
Hee-hee-hee
Give me my flowers, oh, right now
Oh, woo-hoo

What good a pat upon my back
What good a pat upon my back
We can do many things
Let's not hesitate
Which should I have to go right now
I won't have a time to wait
A man will travel face to face
No one can tell
But he can't reach out from his grave
Until his flowers fail, woo

I'll take my flowers
I got to have my flowers
Please people, give me my flowers, please
Give me my flowers right now

Don't wait until it's too late
Give the man with a good hand
Don't stand around waitin' and moanin'
Give me while you can
Don't give me no ashes to ashes
Don't give me no dust to dust
All I want while I'm alive
Is a little love and trust
Oh, I'll take my flowers
I got to have my flowers
