I've made mistakes, of that I'm sure,
A faux pas now and then,
That's why I think of Murphy's Law
And blame that once again...
It's not my fault, I often say,
As if that's good excuse,
It's Murphy's Law, like that's O.K.
And something I can't choose...
I went to School, I passed exams,
I know a thing or two
And yet I still get into jams,
As if I've got no clue...
Though coffee keeps my mind awake,
I do the best I can,
Precautions I prefer to take
And sometimes I will plan...
Then things go wrong, yes, all skerwiff,
All suddenly awry,
It's then I pray and ask God if
He'll fix things by and by...
If not, my word, I'm up the creek,
Then Chaos Theory rules...
Of course, I know I'm not unique,
The world is full of fools...
It's not our fault! It's Murphy's Law!
Most of the time, we're wise!
But life would be a daily bore,
If we were perfect, guys!
So cut some slack, show patience, please!
Don't say we'll never learn!
In life, we've got no certainties...
Who knows when it's YOUR turn?
