Lyrics for Song: Why Does This Always Happen To Me?
Lyrics for Album: Poodle Hat [2003]



I was watching my TV one night

when they broke in with a special report

About some devastating earthquake in Peru

There were thirty thousand crushed to death,

Even more were buried alive

on the Richter scale it measured 8.2

And I said, "God, please answer me one question,...

Why'd they have to interrupt "The Simpsons" just for this?"

What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything

And now I'll have to wait for the rerun

to see the part of the show I missed



Why does this always happen...

Why does the always happen to me?

Why does this always happen...

Why does the always happen to me?



I was driving down the highway when all traffic slowed to a crawl

There was a 12-car pile-up,

everybody dead

And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere

As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head

And I thought - Poor Rob,

I just had lunch with him

Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money- what a jerk

Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again

Plus now, on top of everything else,

It looks like I'm gonna be late to work



Oh, Why does this always happen...

Why does the always happen to me?

Why does this always happen...

Why does the always happen to me?



Oh, the other day my boss said we were running low on toner

And he told me I should buy another case

Welll, I told him I was busy,

but he still kept on asking

So I turned around and stabbed him in the face

Oh, and wouldn't you know it?

My knife got stuck

I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then

But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little

And I know that blade will never be quite as sharp again



Oh tell me, why does this always happen...

Why does the always happen to me?

Why does this always happen...

Why does the always happen to me?


Why Does This Always Happen To Me?

Weird Al Yankovic's 'Why Does This Always Happen To Me?' stands as a quintessential example of his signature style, blending pop sensibilities with satirical lyrics that mimic the emotional cadence of a breakup ballad. Recorded for the 2003 album 'Poodle Hat,' the track showcases Yankovic's ability to craft a musical parody that feels both authentic and humorous, utilizing a driving rhythm and melodic structure typical of his work from the late 1990s and early 2000s. The song exemplifies his broader catalog of parodies that deconstruct popular culture while maintaining a polished production quality. By channeling the frustration of a relationship gone wrong, Yankovic delivers a message that resonates with listeners, proving his enduring relevance in the landscape of comedy music and his skill in transforming everyday sentiments into catchy, memorable recordings.
