Happy retirement
A retirement song for someone who gave a lifetime to their work
After thirty years, or forty, the 6 a.m. alarm can finally stay off. Retirement deserves more than a plaque and a sheet cake in the break room: it deserves a story. The first day on the job in the wrong tie, the desk that was always spotless (or never), the ten o'clock coffee, the longtime clients, the rule changes that kept pushing the date back a few years. You tell us; the song does the rest.
It can come from the family, or from the whole office at the farewell lunch: then the lyrics gather the nicknames, the in-jokes, the famous catchphrases. You read them before the music and edit as you like; pick a nostalgic, festive or ironic mood. Listen to the free preview and play it during the toast, or hand it over as a printable QR card together with the group gift.

What to tell us about their career
- The job and the years: where they started, how the work changed, what their first paycheck actually bought.
- The longtime coworkers, the nicknames, the coffee or lunch-break ritual.
- A line they always said at work that everyone now knows by heart.
- What's next: the vegetable garden, the grandkids, the boat, the trips put off for decades, or finally doing nothing.
