Don't tempt ill-fates, our rules are posted at the cemetery entrance gates. Stick to established walkways and roads. Stay off the grass when freshly mowed. Don't rearrange our flowers. Stay only during posted hours. Rest only where seats are provided. Do not sit on monuments… even if you're invited. Keep your distance from those brokenhearted — out of respect for their dearly departed. [CHORUS] The dead are where they belong… speak low, step light — then just move along. Any unfinished business should remain so. Don’t leave litter behind when you go. When visiting your departed, try not to feel sad or downhearted. Don't be too loud. Trespassing ghost-hunters are not allowed. Don’t remain after dark; this isn't a family amusement park. [CHORUS] The dead are where they belong… speak low, step light — then just move along. When hearing spooky noises — even old familiar family voices — don't answer back… never make any paranormal contact. Please respect the peace of those who’ve checked in — this isn’t a hotel, and there’s no checking out again. [CHORUS] The dead are where they belong… speak low, step light — then just move along. Stay on the path; don’t wander too far. Soon you'll too end up where we are. … where we are.
