Murphy's Blues Lyrics

Where do you turn when you see your master plan go up in smoke?

You do a real slow burn as you grind your teeth and laugh until you choke.

If you wonder why,

Then Murphy's Law explains the awful news.

If something can go wrong, it will.

That's how you got the Murphy Blues.

You had it all worked out

Your clockwork plan put Mother Time to shame.

If a fire broke out in the local restaurant

You'd eat the flames

You felt so strong

Success was in the air

How could you lose?

But something could go wrong and it did

That's how you got the Murphy Blues

With silver lining all around you

You clued the why, the where, the how, yeah

Now you're crying over spilt milk

And running out to find a different cow

If you think you're cool

And Murphy's Law just don't apply to you

If nothing can go wrong, you fool,

Murphy thinks up something new.

That's how you get the Murphy Blues

Let's have a hand for the knowledge and persistence, the insight and the

omni-presence of Murphy's Blues

Oh no!
