Paul Anka and J. Revaux wrote the lyrics
Forgot to add that it was a French song, translated into English
It was originally recorded as Comme d'Habitude ("As Usual") by Claude Francois in 1967. Francois co-wrote both the music and the original French lyrics - the music with Jacques Revaux, the lyrics with Gilles Thibaut.

Paul Anka heard the song, liked it, and wrote English lyrics to it. The English lyrics are not a translation though, and have nothing to do with the original version.
And the story behind the song is that a French sailor called Didier Nolisten nearly sank the boat he was on by lifting the anchor whilst they were in a storm near some rocks off the coast of Africa

When questioned about this he replied.." I Pull Anchor, I did it My Way"

The rest is history

Nice one Ice, lol, did you notice he smacked himself in the mouth with the mic at the start, poor Sid, what a wasted talent ;oP
Is nobody going to post the David Bowie fact about "My Way"

I shall leave it to googlers as I feel my Bowie facts are no longer taken seriously.

David Bowie shoved a Mars Bar up Marsha Hunts you know what, Marsha Hunt was Mick Jaggers girlfriend, Mick was listening to Frank Sinatra, Frank sang My Way?
The last post is complete rubbish. It was a Milky Way. Milky Way had too many syllables so it became My Way. Fact.
Mwhahahaha!!!!!!! Hope firestar's had a smile about all this!

Yes, poor old Sid got clonked, didn't he!

I've always liked Bowie, Abdul. Cool.
