I'll burn my fingers on my coffee pot

My toast is cold, my orange juice is hot

I could stop over, I'd really rather not

Same thing would happen again

'Cause that's the bag I'm in



Missed my connection, I'm late for work again

Ain't seen the sunshine since I can't remember when

They'll drop the atom bomb the day my ship comes in

You know I just can't win

'Cause that's the bag I'm in



The other day I was walking down the street

Whistlin' the blues to the tappin' of my feet

Some woman came out and called a cop on me

It happens every time

'Cause that's the bag I'm in



Missed my connection, I'm straight for work again

Ain't seen the sunshine since I can't remember when

They'll drop the atom bomb the day my ship comes in

You know I just can't win

'Cause that's the bag I'm in



I'll burn my fingers on my coffee pot

My toast is cold, my orange juice is hot

I could stop over, I'd really rather not

You know I just can't win
