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