I'm planning my boss' retirement and I need suggestions on funny retirement songs for a scotsman who was once a ship's captain and now retiring after 25 years of service as a General Manager of a successful company. He loves to drink, loves to sing and loves his yatch in the West Highlands of Scotland. Many thanks |
