To "i've been working on the railroad"
(traditional)

Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer

I'll be working in retirement.
Much to my dismay.
I'll be working in retirement.
‘Til the day I pass away.
 
FICA's bled me dry for ages.
Medicare is even worse.
When my pension stage engages:
There’ll be nothing to disburse.
 
Nothing to disburse.
Stamps.
or ramps.
or nurse.
So much for the golden years.
Why entrust your purse?
It is just perverse.
What’s payrolled-in?
disappears!
 
Some niche getting rich on my drug plan.
That’s a stitch to leave a scar.
And a most upsettingly smug plan.
Can’t we bring back F.D.R.?
 
Hope ringing …
 
He’d scorn this as bizarre.
We’d warn: “For the course, it's now par.”
How we'd spring to his star!
Can’t we bring back F.D.R.?
Can’t we bring back F.D.R.?
Can’t we bring back F.D.R.?
