Desmond ate some buttered toast on his new rug
Molly's voice behind him did resound
Desmond dropped his toast and his new coffee mug
And Molly says this as the toast lands butter-down

You can see, Murphy's Law, life goes wrong, ha!
Even if it can't go wrong
Guarantee, Murphy's Law, life goes wrong, ha!
La-la how the life goes wrong

Desmond bought a TV and his car broke down
Missed his bus and stands in the deep freeze
Gets to his locked door, with one hand reaches down
And realizes that in his car he's left the keys

You can see, Murphy's Law, life goes wrong, ha!
Even if it can't go wrong
Guarantee, Murphy's Law, life goes wrong, ha!
La-la how the life goes wrong

In a couple of years, their life seems like a bad joke
With a couple of kids running in the yard
From when Desmond's rubber broke
Happy never after, since the Law's so cruel
Desmond wants to prove that it is true
Wants to be the exception that proves the rule
But it turns out that nobody is immune to..

You can see, Murphy's Law, life goes wrong, ha!
Even if it can't go wrong
Guarantee, Murphy's Law, life goes wrong, ha!
La-la how the life goes wrong

In a couple of years, their life seems like a bad joke
With a couple of kids running in the yard
From when Desmond's rubber broke
Happy never after, turns out Murphy's right
Anything that can go badly will
Molly knows that nothing will improve her plight
'Cause every day Murphy's prophecy is fufilled, Yeah!

You can see, Murphy's Law, life goes wrong, ha!
Even if it can't go wrong
Guarantee, Murphy's Law, life goes wrong, ha!
La-la how the life goes wrong

And if you think it's done
Pay heed to Murphy's Law!
