Why Does This Always Happen To Me?

  • I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report
    About some devastating earthquake in Peru
    There were thirty thousand crushed to death, even more were buried alive
    On the Richter scale it measured 8.2

    And I said, "God, please answer me one question?"
    "Why'd they have to interrupt 'The Simpsons' just for this?"
    What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything
    And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed

    Why does this always happen?
    Why does this always happen to me?
    Why does this always happen?
    (Why) why does this always happen to me?

    Ba-ba-ba-ba (ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
    Ba-ba-ba-ba (ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)

    I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl
    There was a twelve-car pile-up, everybody dead
    And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere
    As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head (disembodied head)

    And I thought - Poor Rob, I just had lunch with him
    Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money, what a jerk
    Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again
    Plus now, on top of everything else, it looks like I'm gonna be late to work

    Why does this always happen?
    Why does this always happen to me?
    Why does this always happen?
    (Why) why does this always happen to me?

    Ba-ba-ba-ba, (ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
    Ba-ba-ba-ba, (ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
    Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba

    Oh, the other day, my boss said we were running low on toner
    And he told me I should buy another case
    Well, I told him I was busy, but he still just kept on asking
    So, I turned around and stabbed him in the face (right in the face)

    Oh, and wouldn't you know it, my knife got stuck
    I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then
    But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little
    And I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again (quite as sharp again)
    Oh, tell me

    Why does this always happen?
    Why does this always happen to me?
    Why does this always happen?
    Why does this always happen to me?

    Why does this always happen to me?
    (Why does this always happen to me?)
    Why does this always happen to me?
    (Why does this always happen to me?)

    Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
    Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
    Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
    Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

    Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
    Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
    Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
    Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Writer/s: Al Yankovic
