Nope - song


by Jerry Ratch


The tax man he is coming

But I got me no dough

Been looking for some new job

That's going really slow

I bought a lottery ticket

But dropped it down the well

I went to see the psychic

She said I'd go to hell

 

Can't cope, I just can't cope

I got no hope, ain't got no dope

So get the rope and call the Pope

Nope, nope, I just can't cope

 

Then to top it all off

You left and took the cat

And now I've got real problems

Got less than my old hat

I'm really very ticked off

I've got a nasty side

‘Cause you just up and left me

And you were once my bride

 

Can't cope, I just can't cope

I got no hope, ain't got no dope

Just get the rope and call the Pope

Nope, nope, I just can't cope

 

Believed everything you told me

I was such a rube

Now I've become all twisted

Like a Rubix cube

Just throw me in the trashcan

I'm not worth a thing

I have a broken heart now

I have a broken wing

 

Can't cope, I just can't cope

I got no hope, ain't got no dope

Just get the rope and call the Pope

Nope, nope, I just can't cope

 

Now you're my sordid flower

I'm drinking me some wine

You were an angel to me

To me you were divine

But you have fallen farther

Than a darkened witch

I need to make a change now

I need to make a switch

 

Can't cope, I just can't cope

I got no hope, ain't got no dope

Just get the rope and call the Pope

Nope, nope, I just can't cope
