Lyrics
I'm gonna pour me another cup of coffee
I'm gonna take a little snooze by the fire
I'm gonna stay in bed in the mornings
If I ever get to retire
I'm gonna spend more time in the garden
I'm gonna take a little tipple at five
I'm gonna buy me a Spanish apartment
If I ever get to retire
I'm gonna travel to exotic locations
I'm gonna stop checking the time
I'm gonna buy me a boat, to keep me afloat
When I catch that fish on the line
I'm gonna spend more time at my golf club
I'm gonna stroll in the sunshine
I'm gonna learn to play the guitar
If I ever get to retire
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
If I ever get to retire
I'm gonna cruise in the Caribean
I'm gonna drink in the pub lunchtimes
I'm gonna tidy the shed, if I can roll out of bed
I'm gonna drink another bottle of wine
I'm gonna watch afternoon television
I'm gonna swim in the summertime
I'm gonna fall asleep in my hammock
If I ever get to retire
I'm gonna pour me another cup of coffee
I'm gonna take a little snooze by the fire
I'm gonna stay in bed in the mornings
If I ever get to retire, if I ever get to retire
