Song: The Story of Your Life
This is the story, the story of your life.
Who, what, when, how and where.
Where did you live, and when did you leave there?
The story of your life.
Where did you live when you were young?
When you were ¹at school did you have fun?
I've got more questions - here's a difficult one:
What did you look like when you were young?
I lived in a ²town when I was young.
We ³walked to the beach for holiday fun.
I had red hair and my eyes were blue.
I was slim with glasses when I left school.
When I grew up I was very 
short.
I had a 
beard, but I wasn't bald.
Ask another question, but don't take too long
Because I don't think this is a very good song.
A very good song.
This is the story, the story of your life.
Who, what, when, how and where.
Where did you live, and when did you leave there?
The story of your life.
Did you go to university when you 
finished school?
Did you get a job? Was it fun?
I've got more questions - here's another one:
What did you want to 
do when you were young?
When I left school, I 
found a job,
I didn't 
work much, but I learned a lot.
I 
tried to be in a football team
And be on TV playing a lot of sport.
Ask another question,
A more interesting one,
Because I don't think this is a very good song.
A very good song.
