Retirement

There are many things that I would be proud of If I'd only invented them such as the wheel The washing machine and the tumble dryer On these inventions Surely I could retire I want to retire, no longer required I want to get by without the man on my back A tear in my eye with a heart full of pride I must go out on a high And tell nobody why There are many things that I know I could do If I'd only had wanted to such as create The perfect tone that everyone would admire On this creation Surely I could retire I want to retire, no longer required I want to get by without the man on my back A tear in my eye with a heart full of pride I must go out on a high And not to answer to why I want to retire Inform the suppliers I'll leave the party in style I'm not to be carried out Without a cloud in the sky I've got my fingers in pies A golden watch in my side Will measure my free time Now my place in history is surely assured I will be remembered here forever more A brand new product in place and a potential buyer Upon this next transaction surely I could retire I want to retire, no longer required I want to get by without the man on my back A tear in my eye with a heart full of pride I must go out on a high And not to answer to why I want to retire Inform the suppliers I'll leave the party in style I'm not to be carried out Without a cloud in the sky I've got my fingers in pies A golden watch in my side Will measure my free time
