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
