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
