lyrics

THERE ONCE LIVED A MAN BY THE RIVER
WHO BIT OFF MORE THAN HE-COULD-EVER CHEW
WHEN HE SLIPPED-AS-HE-FISHED FOR PIRAHNA
THEN HE BECAME THEIR FOOD

*QUE LASTIMA, QUE LASTIMA
SO SAD TO PLAY THE FOOL
WHAT A PITY, NEXT-TIME-IT COULD BE
YOU

IT REMINDS ME OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
WHO SWORE SHE FOUND HER MR. RIGHT
THEN THE VERY NEXT DAY, THEY WENT ON A DATE
THAT NIGHT HE TOOK HER LIFE

*QUE LASTIMA, QUE LASTIMA
SO SAD BUT YET IT’S TRUE
WHAT A PITY, NEXT TIME IT COULD BE
HAPPENING TO YOU

Bridge

LIFE IS BUT-A DREAM, BUT DON’T LIVE YOUR LIFE TOO CARELESSLY
THERE ONLY WAY TO BE- TO BE OR NOT TO BE

SO BE WARY OF MYSTERIOUS STRANGERS
AND BE CAREFUL NOT-TO-FALL –INTO-HARM’S WAY
LIFE IS ALWAYS FRAUGHT WITH DANGER
AND TROUBLE’S NEVER FAR AWAY

*QUE LASTIMA, QUE LASTIMA
SO SAD BUT YET IT’S TRUE
WHAT A PITY, NEXT TIME IT COULD BE YOU
