Pension Song - Yesterday

[Tom Poje]

over the years I've ended up with a number of these. I think maybe 14 or 15, saved here and there on the computer. what a disorganized mess I have.

Here is one of the Beatle's songs. 'They' did a song for both 401k plans and another for DB plans so I'll have to find the files for that version as well

The Beatles - Yesterday



Yesterday, sixty-five it seemed so far away
Now it’s come today, it’s here to stay
I wish I had a 4-0-1 k

Suddenly, I’ve not half the cash I used to see
The bill collectors shadow me
Retirement came suddenly

My sa-vings are so low, I don’t know just where I’ll stay
I did something wrong, should have saved and put away

4-0-1(k)s, oh it’s such an easy way to save
now I need a place to hide away
and it’s too late for a 4-0-1 k

My sa-vings are so low, I don’t know just where I’ll stay
I did something wrong, should have saved and put away

4-0-1(k)s, oh it’s such an easy way to save
now I need a place to hide away
and it’s too late for a 4-0-1 k


Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

[Belgarath]

And my own version:

Yesterday...

Income tax was due, I had to pay...
All the funds I tried to hide away...
I don't believe, I'll eat 'till May.

Suddenly...

I'm not sure that I am fiscally...
Ready for responsibility...
Oh yesterday, came suddenly.

Why, I

Owed so much, I don't know, I couldn't say
May be
Forms were wrong, how I long, for yesterday.

Yesterday...

Seemed like prison time was on its way...
Now I need a place to hide away...
While keeping IRS at bay.

Why, I

Owed so much, I don't know, I couldn't say
May be
Forms were wrong, how I long, for yesterday.

Yesterday...

Taxes due, I filed come what may...
Losing all deductions that's my way...
Of giving IRS my pay.
