  • No, no use in lecturing them, or in threatening them
    They will just say "who are you"
    Is that a question or not, and you see that the plot
    Is predictable, not new
    But you're still stunned at the things you will do

    No, no use in taking their time or in wasting two dimes
    On a call to God knows who
    When all you feel is the rain and it's hard to be vain
    When no person looks at you
    So just be gracious and wait in the queue

    So when do I get to sing "My Way"
    When do I get to feel like Sinatra felt
    When do I get to sing "My Way"
    In heaven or hell
    So when do I get to do it my way
    When do I get to feel like Sid Vicious felt
    When do I get to sing "My Way"
    In heaven or hell

    Yes, it's a tradition they say, like a bright Christmas Day
    And traditions must go on
    And though I say, yes I see, no I really don't see
    Is my smiley face still on?
    Sign your name with an X, mow the lawn

    So when do I get to sing "My Way"
    When do I get to feel like Sinatra felt
    When do I get to sing "My Way"
    In heaven or hell
    So when do I get to do it my way
    When do I get to feel like Sid Vicious felt
    When do I get to sing "My Way"
    In heaven or hell

    They'll introduce me, "Hello, hello"
    Women seduce me and champagne flows
    Then the lights go low
    There's only one song I know

    There, this home which once was serene, now is home to the screams
    And to flying plates and shoes
    But I have no souvenirs of these crackerjack years
    Not a moment I could choose
    And not one offer that I could refuse

    So when do I get to sing "My Way"
    When do I get to feel like Sinatra felt
    When do I get to sing "My Way"
    In heaven or hell
    So when do I get to do it my way
    When do I get to feel like Sid Vicious felt
    When do I get to sing "My Way"
    In heaven or hell Writer/s: RON MAEL
