Donations - Loudon Wainwright III

If they had to tell someone that something had happened

If they found me just lying there what could they do?

In case of an accident who could they notify

Would it be alright if they notified you?

I’m an unmarried orphan whose children have scattered

Estranged from my siblings close friends just a few

And of those few friends I consider you closest

They must contact someone

Could they contact you?

When they give you the bad news

I’m sure you won’t snicker

You’ll remember the good times and all we went through

Then I suppose that you’ll tell all the others

Performing that awful task, someone has to

When they go through my wallet and fish out my license

They’ll learn my D-O-B and my eyes were blue

As for my corneas, I don’t care who gets them

All other organs and parts are for you
