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 have wanted to, such as create

The perfect soulmate 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
And not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky

I Got my fingers in pies
A Golden watch on my side
Will measure my free time


Now my place in History is surely $$#ured
I will be remembered here forever more

Brand new product in place and a potential buyer
Up on 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
And not to be carried out

Without a cloud in the sky
I Got my fingers in pies
A Golden watch on my side

Will measure my free time
