Sniff

 

And now, the end is near

And so I face the final curtain

My friend, I'll say it clear

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full

I traveled each and every highway

And more, much more than this, I did it my way

 


Regrets, I've had a few

But then again, too few to mention

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course

Each careful step along the byway

And more, much more than this, I did it my way

 

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew

But through it all, when there was doubt

I ate it up and spit it out

I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

 

I've loved,

I've laughed and cried

I've had my fill, my share of losing

And now, as tears subside

I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that

And may I say, not in a shy way

Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my 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

I took the blows

        And did it my way

And in three,

Two,

One, and , . .

Hot town, summer in the city

Back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty

Been down, isn't it a pity?

Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around Me, people lookin' half dead

Walkin' on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night, it's a different world

Go out and find a girl

Come on, come on, and dance all night

Despite the heat, it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity

The days can't be like the nights

In the summer in the city

In the summer in the city

I was thinking of writing funnier lyrics to "My Way," but damn if the originals seemed so accurate for Boone. Freaky.

What a day for a daydream.

The originals are pretty damned funny. Somehow, I had never heard that "spit it out" bit.
