Then Whammo
Some days it's just not a good idea
To rise and get out of the sack
Sure as hell things will take a wrong turn
You'll wish you could turn the clock back
After calamity numéro uno
You think nothing else could go wrong
Then WHAMMO! something gives you a jolt
And you're back to square one before long
Take heart, it happens to all of us
You're probably thinking it's just you
Surely been down that road more than once
It's the sad part of life and so true
The bottom line is to take it real slow
Sure as hell tomorrow will be a better day
After 77 years I've learned a few things
So trust me and hear what I say!
