2. RETIREMENT PLAN

FEELING DOWN, AND FEELING GLUM

NOW YOUR WORKING DAYS ARE DONE,

SO NOW YOU’RE OLDER AND MORE WISE

TRY TO SEE IT THROUGH MY EYES,

I’VE GOT TO GET UP EVERY DAY

RAIN OR SNOW COME WHAT MAY,

I’VE GOT TO MAKE THINGS MOVE ALONG

EVEN WHEN I’M NOT THAT STRONG,

I CAN’T JUST DOWN TOOLS WALK AWAY

AND TAKE AN UNPLANNED HOLIDAY,

WEARY? TIRED? NEED A REST,

BUT I STILL HAVE TO DO MY BEST,

EARN A PENNY, EARN A POUND,

THE WORKING DAY SOON COMES AROUND,

GOSH, THAT MAKES ME FEEL QUITE GLUM

I WISH MY WORKING LIFE WAS DONE.
