Dumb Ways to Die

Låttext

[Verse 1] Tried to race a shopping cart downhill Wore roller skates to climb a windowsill Pressed the elevator button with a fork Told a sleeping crocodile, “Let’s talk” [Pre-Chorus] You had a plan, it wasn’t very long Common sense tapped out before the song [Chorus] Dumb ways to die, oh, what a surprise A banana peel wearing office ties Dumb ways to die, don’t ask me why You brought a trampoline to a beehive Dumb ways, dumb ways, wave goodbye [Verse 2] Put a toaster in the bathtub for a show Fed a parking meter jelly and dough Tried to teach a porcupine to hug Wore a snorkel underneath a coffee mug [Pre-Chorus] You had a map, but missed the giant sign Somehow every bad idea felt fine [Chorus] Dumb ways to die, oh, what a surprise A banana peel wearing office ties Dumb ways to die, don’t ask me why You brought a trampoline to a beehive Dumb ways, dumb ways, wave goodbye [Bridge] Read the warning label upside down Challenged a rooster for the crown If trouble knocks, just let it wait Maybe don’t juggle near the dinner plate [Final Chorus] Dumb ways to die, learn before you try Leave the fireworks to the evening sky Dumb ways to die, give danger a bye Keep both feet planted when the sidewalk’s high Dumb ways, dumb ways, wave goodbye [Outro] Laugh at the lesson, walk away alive That’s the smartest way to survive
