The Retirement Party - Bob Newhart

It’s coming from the forest

Where we used to live

Can you hear the laughing?

Coming from the clearing

At the bottom of the hill

(Ba, ba, ba, bah)

Climb the hill and see the creatures

(Ba, ba, ba, bah)

Run about their world

(World party)

How can I say, no?

(No, party)

You know I’ve got to go

(Go, party)

Go to a world party

And tonight I’m going to ask a dolphin

See if you can find a tiger

Whose eyes are still alight

With your little head

In his mouth

Everything’s gonna be alright

I hear there’s going to be a harvest

Where every creature gets a share

Of life and food and light

(Ba, ba, ba, bah)

Unless we learn, we’re the dumbest creatures

(Ba, ba, ba, bah)

That ever walked the world

Are you going?

Yes, we’re going to a world party

Well, how can I say, no?

Yes, we’re going to a world party

You know I’ve got to go Yes, we’re going to a world party

You know, you know, you know, hey

Pa, party

Pa, pa, party

This party’s in the mountains

And in the fields and on the shore

At the bottom of the sea

In the desert

In the marshes

Underground, up your tree

(Ba, ba, ba, bah)

And out in space you can hear the creatures

(Ba, ba, ba, bah)

Sing about their world

Are you going?

Yes, we’re going to a world party

Well, how can I say, no?

Yes, we’re going to a world party

You know I’ve got to go Yes, we’re going to a world party

Yes, we’re going to a world party

Yes, we’re going to a world party

Yes, we’re going to a world party
