Just left school can't find no work
Be a building labourer or an office clerk
Can't believe the men youve seen
On the scrapheap and youre only 17
What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world this is
Standing on the corner waiting for a bus
Old Bill come and try to nick you for SUS
You try tell them that youve done nothing wrong
They tell you not to sing the same song
What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world this is
Standing in the pub on your own for the night
Group of nutters try to pick a fight
You can try and plead for your life
Theyre still cut you with a f**ing great knife
What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world this is
