Ladies and Gentlemen, Rod Blagojevich Has Left the Building

By Kevin Underhill

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 made my wallet full
By selling each and every highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I should not have done "The View"
But saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But 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 all along, when there was doubt
I did my best to wiggle out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

Life handed me a Senate seat
Something that's just [expletive] golden.
A chance that's hard to beat
Worth more than [expletive] appreciation.

To think I did all this;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not cold cash, then he has naught.
To say you know the truth of things;
And say them live on Larry King.
The record shows I dodged the blows -
And did it my way!
