Company Man Lyrics

Congratulations, Mr. Wilson, on retiring today

It's been some 40 years, so is there anything you want to say?

We'd like to thank you for your service, here is a carriage clock to watch the time go by

We hope the pension is sufficient to provide for times like these

It's worth a mention, you can supplement your income now with ease

How about holding a lollipop, make all the traffic stop

And help the kids to school?

You must be joking if you don't feel a fool

A TV License for the snooker, easy listening greatest hits

A Sunday dinner and a Western if you're feeling up to it

You can attend to your rhododendrons

Sit in the window, watch the years go by

You must be joking if you don't wonder why

The newsagent ran to get in from the rain

The papers were wet through, they disguised your name

The launderette attendant said she saw the train

The launderette attendant said she saw the train!

You should have trained as an astronaut

Plenty of time in space for all your thoughts

You should have been an acrobat

Travelling salesmen don't have time for that (Bye bye)

Goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye to Jackie Charlton, goodbye to Ronnie Corbett

Goodbye to Alma Cogan, goodbye to Princess Margaret

Goodbye to marmalade and Boxing Day and English Sparkling Wine

Goodbye to marzipan, Jim Callaghan and Gardeners' Question Time

Goodbye to Harry Palmer

Goodbye to Syd and Roger

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye
