THE DOUBLE-LEFT-HANDED MAN [ MP3 ]

LittleBoy demo


The double-left-handed man tried again /
To drive the nail into the wall / 
It wouldn't work at all /
His thumb was hit and his head turned red / 
Clumsy little guy/ You can't do anything right / 
So please don't try.
The double-left-handed man tried again /
Trying hard to catch a snail / 
Once more he would fail /
And even when he tried to hang himself it turned out wrong /
He could not tie a knot, besides the rope was much too long.  

The double-left-handed man tried again / 
He had a gun to load/ 
Well, soon it would explode /
His legs were hurt by the pieces flying 'round / 
Clumsy little guy/ You can't do anything right / 
So please don't try.
The double-left-handed man tried again /
To get his wheel-chair on the steps/ 
His carriage would collapse /
And when he tried to kill himself by an electric shock 
The fuse was blown already/ While no reserves in stock.

The double-lefthanded man tried again /
To repair a mowing-machine/ 
What a bloody scene /
Both his hands were cut off/ Near the armpit I think /
Clumsy little guy/ You can't do anything right / 
So please don't try.
The double-left-handed man could not try again /
Sitting on his balcony/ 
As safe as he could be /
But suddenly a squall took him/ And he fell down in a dustbin /
The dustman did his duty/ And loaded up his cart /
Friendly greeting passers-by /
He only plays his part.
