Lyrics for Song: Why Does This Always Happen To Me?
Lyrics for Album: Poodle Hat
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?
Released on the 1988 album Poodle Hat, this track is a satirical take on the popular song 'Why Does It Always Rain on Me?' by The Pointer Sisters. Weird Al Yankovic adapts the original melody to deliver a humorous narrative about the universal frustration of encountering unexpected mishaps. The recording exemplifies Yankovic's signature style of parodying hit songs while maintaining the original's catchy rhythm and structure. It remains a staple of his discography, showcasing his ability to blend social commentary with musical wit during the late 1980s era of his career. |
