lyrics

Retire To Facebook

When I get old
I’ll retire to facebook
And squat upon that great blue sea
Though I can’t afford a home
At least I won’t be alone
All my faceboook friends
Can come and visit me

And I hope that you will like me when I;m old
And like my retirement page too
It may be a little thin
But given the shape I‘m in
There’ll be room enough for me and room for you

I shared my hpes and dreams with the young and old
And I’d share them all again
But all that sharing’s got me is
Copyright cops who’ve caught me
Seems I’m a pirate and I’m
Headed for a bitter end

You can take away my job
And you can take away my joy
Leave me with nothing but a mouse
Like a link to an empty page
I’m growing old in an empty age
Just a clicking on that icon of my house

When I get old
I’ll retire to facebook
And squat upon that great blue sea
Though I can’t afford a home
At least I won’t be alone
All my faceboook friends
Can come and visit me
