"RETIREMENT AIN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE"

The day that I've been waiting for
has finally arrived.

Ain't no more early to bed
nor early to arise.

I still set the alarm clock
just so that I can shut the damn thing off.

But I gotta get a parttime job
'cause my wife is starting to sound
too much like my boss.

She's got a 'Honey Do' list
that's longer than your arm.

So I think I'm gonna love to hear
the sound of that alarm.
