And now the end is near
And so I face that 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 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
I 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 spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
I 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,
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
Not to say the things
That he truly feels
And not the words
Of one who kneels
The record shows
I took all the blows
And did it my----way
