Poor Poor Pitiful Me
Well, I stood all day in the employment line
For a job at the factory.
But they’re only hiring nurses now.
Poor poor pitiful me.
(Chorus)
Poor poor pitiful me.
Poor poor pitiful me.
The world’s passed by
Just don’t know why.
I’m a victim now, can’t you see.
Woe, woe is me.
Well, I met a man at the U of A
Trying to buy books for the school year.
I looked around, then I asked him, “Hey!
How on earth did you get in here?”
He looked surprised, but then he told me why.
“It’s a thing called affirmative action.”
Whites like me need not apply,
He said with some satisfaction.
(Chorus)
Parody of “Poor Poor Pitiful Me” by Warren Zevon.
