A boy loved a girl but the girl said no
She ran away with a handsome gigolo
He loved her but they were through
So he fed himself to the lions at the zoo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh how sad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
Romeo and Juliet,a weirdo couple that I met
They had a little drink with a strange effect
Some mistakes you can't correct
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh how sad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
Ain't it sad about the boys and the girls
Oh, sha la la, oh, sha la la
Ain't it sad about the whole damn world
Oh, sha la la, oh, sha la la
Ain't it sad about the boys and the girls
Oh, sha, la la, oh, sha, la la
Ain't it sad about the whole damn world
Oh, sha, la la, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh how sad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
Love is hating you can't control
When you're young or when you're old
And I don't play sympathetic parts
So you can keep your broken heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh how sad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh how sad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh how sad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
