A resignation, my resignation
From the space station
I've got to get out before they let me go
Before they let me go

Inebriation, my intoxication
Needed medication
I've gotta get out before they let me go
Before they let me go

Then I caught a cold wind one night
They took me to a place I swore I'd die

Now I'm feelin' so much better
Livin' in this weather
I'm gettin' green, oh, yeah! I'm gettin' right
I'm gettin' by on getting by

Now life is so much better
I'm handin' in this letter
I'm beggin' for this kind of life
I wish that they'd accept my resignation

They say I'm crazy, boy, they say I'm lazy
I better hit up Daisy
And head to the last call tavern tonight
Oh, tavern tonight

Emancipation, my aproclaimation
Hop up in this Lincoln
We'll head to the last call tavern tonight
The last call tavern tonight

Then I caught a cold wind one night
They took me to a place I swore I'd die

Now I'm feelin' so much better
Livin' in this weather
I'm gettin' green, oh, yeah! I'm gettin' right
I'm gettin' by on getting by

Now life is so much better
I'm handin' in this letter
I'm beggin' for this kind of life
I wish that they'd accept my resignation
Resignation

Capitulation, don't attack the nation
Hand in your resignation
And head to the last call tavern tonight
Last call tavern tonight

A resignation, my resignation
From the space station
Head to the last call tavern tonight
Last call tavern tonight

Resignation
