Sitting in my chair and thinking
Thinking of the crowd I've been with
Thinking of the music I make
and all the things I don't wanna give

Well dig everything I want
The girls are fighting for me
But everytime that I take one
Their indisposed poor old me!

Well, this is my life of sadness 
This is the life I live 
This is my life of gladness 
This is the life I live 

Last week I went to the graveyard 
My dog was killed by car 
Feel the pain, the pain is started 
He's dead, but friends, we still are 
Sunday we played in a dancing 
The public was very down 
But it didn't bore us a thing' 
Cos we smoked ourselves a kick 

Well, this is my life of sadness 
This is the life I live 
This is my life of gladness 
This is the life I live 

I had a girl and I loved her 
She knows, she knows I still do 
But she married with a rich man 
But the things she wants, he can't do 
Once we were on Joops wedding 
We drink and  we smoked all night 
At twelve we were thrown out 
'Cos the house was changed into a crowd 

Well, this is my life of sadness 
This is the life I live 
This is my life of gladness 
This is the life I live
