Mel is Retiring Sung to tune of I’m a Believer

Written by Neil Diamond; Parodied by Denise d’Epagnier
Recorded by The Monkees in 1966

(Verse 1)

She thought extra time was just a fairy tale

Meant for someone else, but not for her

Work was out to get her

That’s the way it seemed

Waste containers haunted all her dreams

(Chorus)

But now its time to go

Cause Mel is retiring

There’s not a trace of doubt in her mind

She’ll have fun…oooo…Mel is retiring

Just a little perspiring as she goes

(Verse 2)

Mel thought laboratory work was just a giving thing

The more she gave the more we learned from her

Even though we sometimes

Made her feel insane

She was there in sunshine and in rain

(Chorus)

But now its time to go

Cause Mel is retiring

There’s not a trace of doubt in her mind
