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 [bad word]  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
