WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?
by "Weird Al" Yankovic
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 does this always happen to me?

I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl.
There was a twelve car pileup, everybody dead.
And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere,
as well as my friend Robert's 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 going to be late to work.
Oh, Why does this always happen
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen
Why does this always happen to me?

ba-bappa-ba-ba, bappa ba ba ba
ba-bappa-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?)
