Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alright when I call your name, step forward
Pinocchio the puppet
Uh I'm not a puppet, I'm a real boy
That's you patch of mud down there
Ah dumped on a swamp
Man, I tell ya some times being a fairytale creature sucks pine sap
[Verse 2]
Life is disappointing
Woe, is what I know
Outed by my nose
That's just how it goes
For poor Pinocchio
[Verse 3]
Story of my life
Always doomed to fail
Cheated by a fox
Swallowed by a whale
That's the story of my life
Oh yeah
That's the story of my life
[Verse 4]
Strife is never ending
Peter pan
Banished
From the town
The ugly duckling
They dragged me from the pond
They broke my magic wand
They blew our condos down
[Verse 5]
Wicked witch
Life is but a witch hunt
Mama's in the mud
Mama's in distress
[Verse 6]
They ridiculed my hat
They said that we were fat
They tore my cotton granny dress
And called me a hot and tranny mess
[Verse 7]
Sugar plum fairies
Story of my life
Booted from the ball
Told to go away
Tumbled off a wall
That's the story of my life
You're late rabbit
That's the story of my life
Have fun you guys
That's the story of my life
[Verse 8]
And remember if we find you back in the Kingdom
You will be executed
[Verse 9]
I always dreamed
I'd get a happy ending
And this right here
Not how it goes
I always dreamed
I'd get an ever after
[Verse 10]
If this is it
It blows
It blows
It blows
[Verse 11]
This is worse than that case of Dutch Elm disease I caught in Tijuana
Story of my life
All the wasted prayers
All the broken dreams
All the broken chairs
[Verse 12]
All the damage done
All the busted beds
All the shattered falls
And the porridge on our heads
[Verse 13]
That's the story of my life, yes sir
That's the story of my life
Oy vey
That's the story of my
Life
Crap
