lyrics

Late night Bingo
Carlo Rossi
The Price is Right
With instant coffee

Crossword puzzles
Still confounding
Walking shoes
For all surroundings

In retirement, you're gonna use the last of it
You're gonna see how hard it gets
Collecting monthly checks

In retirement, you're gonna eat the rest of it
You're gonna feel the harsh regrets
From smokin' shitty cigarettes

Workin' 9-5...until I'm 65

Coupon Clippings
Elastic waist rings
All day to day dream
Please tie your draw strings

Workin' 9-5...until I'm 85

In retirement, your fridge is full of condiments
You'll get to know your TV set
and rediscover morning sex

In retirement, you'll probably knit a sweater vest
You're attic is a treasure chest
You always know what "survey says"

In retirement, you'll feel as though you're truly blessed
Leafing through the rolodex
Looking up your living friends

In retirement, you'll line your gums with Efferdent
Reflect on your accomplishments
...And take your daily supplements

In Retirement
