just sing it out loud as a cheerio

And now, the end is near;
And so we face the final curtain.
My friend, we'll say it clear,
We'll state our case, of which we're certain.

We've lived a life thats full.
We've traveled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
We did it our way.

Regrets, we've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
We did what we had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

We planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
We did it our way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When we bit off more than we could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
We ate it up and spit it out.
We faced it all and we stood tall;
And did it our way.

We've loved, we've laughed and cried.
We've had our fill; our share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
We find it all so amusing.

To think we did all that;
And may we say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not us,
We did it our way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows we took the blows -
And did it our way!
