C'mon DU, it's time to rewrite that Elton John classic. Here are the original Bernie Taupin lyrics to Rocket Man:
"She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long long time..."
Here's a chorus suggestion for:
RETRO MAN!
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till the convention comes and they find
I'm not the Candidate they thought they had
Oh no no no I'm a retro man
etch a sketching all my past away
More ideas?

(22,912 posts)I filed my taxes many years ago
seperated from my firm
and I'm gonna be richer than you forever more
I didn't have to quit being CEO on time
I kept my pay for three years
facts have no hold on me

The past has no hold on me
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till the convention comes and they find
I'm not the Candidate they thought they had
Oh no no no I'm a retro man
Etch a sketching all my past away
The public ain't the place to show your worth
They pay taxes every day
They don't live their lives retroactively
All these loopholes they don't understand
It's not my job to share their pain
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till the convention comes and they find
I'm not the Candidate they thought they had
Oh no no no I'm a retro man
Etch a sketching all my past away
