RIP

 And now the end is near

 And he will face the final curtain 

 My friend, I'll say it clear 

 He will state his case of which I'm certain

 He has lived a life that's full

 He has traveled more then one country

 And more, much more than this he did it his way

 

 Regrets, maybe a few

 But then again too few to mention

 He did what he had to do

 And saw it through without exception

 

 No plans for

 a charted course

 Each step careful

 Along the byway

 And more, much more than this he did it his way

 

 For what is a cat, what has he got?

 If not himself, then he has not

 To do the things he truly feels

 And not the wishes of the one who leads

 The record shows he took the blows

 And did it his way
