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.......
