Story Of Success

Well, a man fell down a pothole

He was looking for a dime

It was full of alligators

He climbed out just in time

He was caught by paparazzi

He sold his story to the press

He even met the Dalai Lama

Another story of success

Well, a lady went to Paris, France

Just to try on some shoes

She stopped a real bank robbery

It was all over the news

Well, she fell in love with a French detective

She even bought a wedding dress

Then she ditched him at the altar

Another story of success

Well, I ran into a drugstore

I was hiding from the cops

They had photos posted everywhere

Last seen on Top of the Pops

Wanted all over the country

Had to change my address

Now I'm hanging out with the McBride gang

Another story of success

Everything's a mess
