My Way

Fellas, how do you think history will remember us?

Well

Well, let me say this about that

You know, if you look at Bill Clinton's presidency

Hell, I look pretty good

Well

You know, I'll probably be remembered for

The Camp David Accord and, uh, um... um

Oh, yes?

Well

I'm thinking, I'm thinking

You know, I'll probably be remembered for Desert

Storm and throwing up all over the Japanese ambassador

Well

Um, uh...

Oh, we're waiting

I'm thinking, I'm thinking

Well, all I can say is I made Americans feel good about themselves

I know, by leaving

No, no, I like to think that I brought our country closer together

Any regrets?

My friends, I'll say it clear

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

I've lived a life that's full

Traveled each and every highway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

Regrets? Oh, I've had a few

But then again, too few to mention, really

I did, I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption

Read my lips, I planned each charted course

Each careful step, you know, along the byway

This is true, and more, much more than this

Well, I did it my way

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

When I bit off much more than I could chew

But, you know, through it all, when there was doubt

I ate it up and I spit it out

Hot damn, I faced it all and I stood tall

And did it my way

I did, I really did

I've loved, I've laughed and I've cried

Oh, I've had my share, my share of losing

Make no mistake about that

But now, as tears subside

I, I find it all so amusing

Yak, yak

To think, I, I did all that

And, and may I say, uh, not in a shy way

Oh, no

No, no, no

I did it my way

For what is a man? What has he got?

If not himself, then he has not

To say the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who yields

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way

My way
