Please don't talk about me when I'm gone   Though our friendship ceases from now on   And listen, if you can't say anything real nice   It's better not to talk at all, that's my advice      We're parting, you go your way, I'll go mine, it's best that we do   Here's a kiss, I hope that this brings lots of luck to you   Makes no difference how I carry on   Just don't you talk about me when I'm gone      Please don't talk about me when I'm gone   Though our friendship ceases from now on   And listen, if you can't say anything real nice   Just don't talk at all, that's my advice      We're parting, you go your way, I'll go mine, it's best that we do   But here's a kiss and I hope that this brings lots of luck to you   Makes no difference how I carry on   Just don't talk, please don't talk   Don't you talk about me when I'm gone
