My Life Is Wonderful
A funny song about depression and misfortune
My life is wonderful
I live alone inside a cave
And it can get quite cold
And birds keep pooing all over my things
Â
Oh well, I don’t mind because I like it in my cave
Even though a man came and stole my dog
And chopped him up for firewood
Â
Oh my life is wonderful
I wouldn’t change it for the world
My father used to beat me up
And he wouldn’t let me go to school
Â
He said I was useless and annoying
And a complete waste of space
He once put my guinea pig in the oven
And turned it up to gas mark 8
Â
My life is wonderful
My wife is having an affair
I love her more than words can say
And I cry myself to sleep ever night
Â
My life is wonderful,
I dropped my passport down a well
My finger’s got a paper cut
And I’ve run out of frizz ease for my hair
Â
I’m now developing chest pains
And I’ve got nothing to eat
My horoscope this morning said that
My life is about to get much worse
Â
My life is wonderful
My favourite mug has got a crack
A horse has eaten all my clothes
And my neighbours started learning the violin
Â
He only knows ‘Frere Jacques’
And the theme from Different Strokes
I bought some peanuts the other day
And they tasted a little bit funny
Â
My life is wonderful
My bed is made out of a pointy rocks
I’ve lost my Tesco’s Clubcard
And a bear’s just bitten off half of me leg
