And so I came to this world

And then I blew it



I bought a puzzle to play, I couldn't do it

I told a joke to my friends, but they all knew it

I tried to laugh my way out, but they saw through it

I think I'll bury my head and just get through it



On my fool life



I saw a robbery once, I was a witness

Somebody called the police, they said who did this

And I described them so well, in about a minute

The they looked at me then, you'd think I did it



On my fool life



I had a friend in distress, he was a good friend

It wasn't happening between him and his girlfriend

I tried to sort it all out and talk to her friend

But then I got to her house I found that I'd no friends



Oh my fool life



I got a linguaphone course, so I could learn French

I went to Calais one day, so I could speak French

I got confused at the dock in the confusion

'Welkom meneer rechts rijden in Hoek van Holland'



Oh my fool life
