lyrics

Oh the jackpot went to Jim
And his girlfriend Evelyn
They bought a terraced house
At the backside of the station

Why do I always fail to win

When I touched her 
She screeched ”sin“
She said she’d leave for West-Berlin
To sign herself in at a school
For a catholic education

Why do I always fail to win
Why do I always fail to win

And she said
”You do believe in true love, do you?”
”Well” I said ”no“
She said ”wrong answer”
And promptly left the room

So I went down to the bus stop 
waiting for her
She didn’t come and the bus was 
long gone
I took my car to the next gas station
The man at the counter said: 
”No gasoline”

So I went back home and watched TV to forget the mess I’m in

Why do I always fail to win
Why do I always fail to win
