'My Way' - Frank Sinatra
And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full,
I've traveled each and every highway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few,
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do,
And saw it through, without exemption.
I planned each charted course,
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up, and spat it out.
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill, my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that,
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way."
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels,
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows,
- And did it my way!
Yes, I did it my way!

'My Way' - Tony Blair
And now, the end is near,
That full third term,
I wouldn't bet my shirt on!
The Chancellor, I'm sure,
Won't be for long, it's certain.
I've had holidays far-and-wide,
Have taken freebies, not in a shy way,
Started a daft, damn-futile war
- And did it my way!
Lies, I have told a few!
(Um, ah...ok, too many to mention!)
I'd admit with Gordon and me,
Why indeed, there's a tension.
I'd plan my legacy,
Had Ali spin it in his shady, sly way.
At least, he leaked-out that
I did it my way!
Oh, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
The wife's funny gurns,
Were more than even I could chew!
Time after time, rules I'd flout,
I lost the plot...I lost my clout!
I should have gone, and I clung on,
And did it my way!
I have had two and-a-half terms,
I fear to David Cameron losing.
I wish, when I hand-over,
I'd exit at a time of my choosing.
With each half-truth I fade,
I acted in a heavy-handed, high way.
Oh yes, in fact I cheated!
- I did it my way!
What's a P.M? What left has he got?
With a reputation of licking Bush's bott!
Tuscany...I'm at Berlusconi's heels,
The scandal of cash-for-honours deals,
I ran the show, I have to go.
- I did it my way!
