Practical Peter was doing very well,

Life couldn't be sweeter, not as far as he could tell

But then came a lightning bolt out of the blue,

sent him straight to hell

That's when the world falls down, right on your head, oh yeah

When the world falls down and it's really very sad

Riches or ruins, It's really all the same

You better watch what you're doing, It could all go down the drain

And just when you think your ship has come in

(watch out) here comes a wave

That's when the world falls down, right on your head, oh yeah

When the world falls down and it's really very sad

Sally was singing, as she stepped out of the car

Church bells were ringing and the vicar knew his part

But right then the bridegroom decided he'd had a change of heart

That's when the world falls down, right on your head, oh yeah

When the world falls down and it's really very sad

World falls down right on your head, falls down

That's when the world falls down and it's really very sad

World falls down, fall down

Oh yeah
