9. This one is pretty joyful

The refrain goes:

Will you please dance on my grave
With your bare feet on the ground
Will you turn the music way up loud
Will you please dance on my grave

The coda is especially poignant:

No procession
No depression
Only good thoughts
From you and my kin

No more crying
No goodbye-ing
Rejoice my past
Have a good stiff drink and
Kick your shoes off and

Please dance on my grave
With your bare feet on the ground (etc)

Probably not high on the traditional lgbt funereal playlist but worth a listen and, who knows, maybe just what your family and friends will need in that moment.
