And when the end was near
Both of us faced the final flurry
When we got on that plane
We took
as much as we could carry
I've got a coat that's
full
Of silverware, it's quite a display
'cause even
when we left
I did it my way
Salad forks, I took a few
But not too few to mention
I did what I
wanted to
Every day, without exemption
I
stashed some butter knives
Right in here, my inside
pocket
I reluctantly decided to leave
The kitchen faucet
Yes there were times, I'm sure you
knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
So I
kept a souvenir spoon
To remind me I'm a big
buffoon
I caused as much ruckous as I could
I did
it my way
I've loved I've laughed I've
lied
I've had my fill, my share of losing
Only
someone with no pride
Could find any of this amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say
not in a shy way
No, there ain't a shy bone in
me
I did it my way
For what is a man, what has
he got
If not some forks, then he has naught
To
say the things he truly feels
He must swipe some
stainless steel
The record shows they were beneath my
clothes
I did it my way
