Lyrics

Bummer



I went down to my local bank to up my overdraft
But the manager just laughed and threw me out
My old lady left me for a younger man last summer
Oooh ........................bummer

I need to get new friends and acquaintances real soon
They're not too cool or hip or in the loop
My best friend's favourite movie of all time is ''Dumb and Dumber''
Oooh....................bummer

Chorus

I've always had bad luck
It makes me mad and madder
If a black cat sees me
It'll run away
And walk under a ladder


Verse

My poor old house is falling down
It badly needs repairs
My dead end job is now under threat
Went driving in my clunker and tailgated by a hummer
Oooh............................bummer

Instrumental

Verse

In the 70's I was a good rock and roll guitarist
But I turned down the chance to join a band
The group that I turned down
Well it was led by Joe Strummer

Oooh........bummer

Chorus

I've always had bad luck
It makes me mad and madder
If a black cat sees me
It'll cross the street
And walk under a ladder

Instrumental

Verse


At the weekends I like to chill and hang around the house
Sometimes I take my dog out for a walk
But the wee fella is aggressive, wants to take on all comers
Oooh................bummer

Chorus

I've always had bad luck
It makes me mad and madder
If a black cat sees me
It'll cross the street
And walk under a ladder

Verse


My daughter had a boyfriend, he was a millionaire
My future was so rosy, so I thought
But she dumped him for another guy
Turned out to be a plumber
Oooh.........................bummer



Oooh..............bummer
Oooh..............bummer
