Lyrics:

Clyde

Went up to my boss today
Said 'Hey man, can I have more pay?'
I said, 'Will ya? Please sir!'
He took one look at me and then
He said, 'If you ask me that again, I'll kill ya!'

Why , why, why do I have to cry?
Ours not to reason why, I know
It's just to do and die, I know
But even so it seems that the world
Has passed me over

Same sort of thing with the birds in this town
I pick 'em up, they put me down
Still, you can't complain (much!)
If I had a fancy car, Mercedes or a Jaguar, I'd thrill 'em!

Why , why, why do I have to cry?
Ours not to reason why, I know
It's just to do and die, I know
But even so it seems that the world
Has passed me over

You should see how the women treat me
Perhaps I should have the guts to see I'm a failure
(A teenage failure!)
If you cheat on me again, I'l hire a detective
And then I'll have him trail ya!

Why , why, why do I have to cry?
Ours not to reason why, I know
It's just to do and die, I know
But even so it seems that the world
Has passed me over

Now this ain't a very fine song
But lucky for you, it ain't too long
(Sit still or I'll smash your face in!)
If I had an expensive guitar
I'd write great songs and I'd go far (maybe)
Why , why, why do I have to cry?
Ours not to reason why, I know
It's just to do and die, I know
But even so it seems that the world
Has passed me over
