I miss the bus lyrics

No matter just how hard I try The breaks in life all pass me by I see a pound note in the street I pick it up - it's counterfeit I miss the bus I miss the bus I did my football polls one day Forgot to mail them right away Two hundred thousands pound a check Yes, I had everyone correct I miss the bus I miss the bus The greatest moment of my life To make the girl I love my wife But while I overslept in bed She married someone else instead I miss the bus I miss the bus Once when I was so down and out They jailed me as a lay above Two week to sleep I found a place Until the judge dismissed the case For lady luck it seems to be Just hates the very site of me For some a bed of roses is red For me a hole right in the head I miss the bus I miss the bus I got myself a swell guitar And dreamed to be a big pop star Created rock-and-roll in song But Elvis Presley came along No matter just how hard I try I loose the bus until I die But up on my funeral day Let's hope things go the usual way And I'll miss the bus I'll miss the bus I miss the bus I miss the bus I miss the bus I miss the bus I miss the bus I miss the bus
