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

Ooooooohhhhhhhh

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