Sitting here in Avalon, looking at the pouring rain
Summertime has come and gone and everybody's home again
Closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs
I can still taste the wedding cake and it's sweet after all these years
These are the last words I have to say
That's why this took so long to write
There will be other words some other day
But that's the story of my life
There's comfort in my coffee cup and apples in the early fall
They're pulling all the moorings up and gathering at the Legion Hall
They swept away all the streamers after the Labor Day parade
Nothing left for a dream now, only one final serenade
And these are the last words I have to say
Before another age goes by
With all those other songs I'll have to play
But that's the story of my life
And it's so clear standing here where I am
Ain't that what justice is for?
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn anymore
Stack the chairs on the table tops
Hang the sheets on the chandeliers
It slows down but it never stops
Ain't it sweet after all these years
And these are the last words I have to say
It's always hard to say goodbye
But now it's time to put this book away
Ain't that the story of my lifeJack worm came to conquer this world
we all knew that was his intention
to strip the financialm market to the bone
and he wouldn't make an exception
Jack was a man with a confidential mind
a great deal of flesh and blood
no doubt about him being the king of the ring
as long as the dough kept coming in
Jack was a healthy man with very steady nerves
his concept was to never think twice
he had the world in his greedy fat hands
he'd succeeded with his made-up device
Jack always wonders what else there's to buy
worm being worm had it easy to get by
the entire world ate out of his hand
you better figure out away to take a stand
I am a wealthy man
this is just how I am
it's time to take a stand
this is just my lousy plan
Jack rose from the seat at his desk
pulled aside the curtains for a peak of the street
set down again and smiled wistfully
it all became clear as he said
I am a wealthy man
this is just how I am
it's time to take a stand
this is just my lousy plan
I am a wealthy man
this is just how I am
it's time to take a stand
this is just my lousy plan
