I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plan (The Blue Pyjamas Song)

[Chorus]

I guess I'll have to change my plan,

I should have realized there'd be another man,

I overlooked that point completely,

Until the big affair began,



Before I knew where I was at,

I found myself upon the shelf, and that was that,

I tried to reach the moon but when I got there,

All that I could get was the air,



My feet are back upon the ground,

I've lost the one girl (man) I found,



[Chorus]



I guess I'll have to change my plan,

I should have realized there'd be another man,

Why did I buy those blue pajamas,

Before the big affair began,



My boiling point is much to low

For me to try to be a fly Lothario,

I think I'll crawl right back and into my shell,

Dwelling in my personal hell,



I'll have to change my plan around,

I've lost the one girl (man) I found
