What a Way to Go lyrics

What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go Twenty five years working for the state Saved all your money, got a good rate Always thinking 'bout that pension plan The day of retirement, the promised land, well Got a finish off that swimming pool Get some umbrellas, don't wanna be cool Remember to take them fishing trips You never had time for, this is it The day of retirement have finally come Get a gold watch and your work is done One month later your heart give out What was all that planning about? What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go Well, they finally lay you in the ground Your wife and the children standing around Now they got that pension plan Rather have you, don't you know it, man What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go What a way to go
