The Thtory of My Life

When I wath born the doctor thaid 
"Oh dear I dropped him on hith head" 
My family thued and we were rich 
Becauthe I have thith thtubborn lithp 

Dethpite it all I wathn't thy 
Jutht an ordinary guy 
In fact the girlth all thought it cool 
I wath a heart throb at our thchool 

I have a quite thucceththful life 
A houthe, a job, a gorgeouth wife 
A ruthtic cabin in the wild 
And a lovely little child 

When thhe wath born I did inthitht 
To be on hand and to aththitht 
For I wath filled with angtht and dread 
That thhe might land upon her head 

And when thhe thlithered into view 
I wiped my brow and murmured "phew" 
But when they handed me my lathth 
I thlipped and dropped her on her athth
