Retirement - the play list

[Ham]

Today's the day, I was thinking to myself, not only should there be a playlist:

Craig David - Walking Away
Dead Kennedys - Take this job and shove it
Animals - We got to get out of this place

but there should also be a playlist that should have been:

Boomtown Rats - Tell me why I don't mind Mondays
Dolly Parton - Not working 9 to 5
Anything by UB40, nothing by Working Week


Over to the floor

[Mr Larrington]

Welcome To The Working Week ~ Elvis Costello

[mrcharly-YHT]

We'r not going to take it - Twisted Sister

[Ham]

Welcome To The Working Week ~ Elvis Costello

The version, "You're welcome to the working week" is possibly more in keeping.
