Retirement, retirement, the goal one dreams about
   Is only one short year away. I want to sing and shout.
   And with a steady check per month I guess that this will mean
   That we will live on easy street like any king and queen.

   And just like any king and queen we will have lots of friends.
   We will go trav'lling round the world - until the money ends -
   Because, you see, the king and queen have income all their own,
   And all we did, was see the bank and ask for our loan.

   And thus the moral of this tale is clear for all to see :
   Don't spend the money you don't have, and that means you and me.
   Let's stay at home, let's keep our doe, let's visit our kids.
   You can enjoy retirement not only at the Ritz.
