a chef inspired this - i told him that the meal was delicious, and he fobbed me off so i felt so embarressed i wanted to go and hide in a hole somewhere. i think i might be a bit sensitive! :P

lyrics

i feel so dumb i'm such a fool
worse than falling off a stool
as if i could ever be cool
i think i'll runaway to china
why is it when i try to speak
my vocal chords turn all weak
all that sounds is a little squeak
i think i'll run away to china
i'll live up on a mountainside
in a cottage made for one
play solitaire for fun and win at scrabble
no one there to laugh at me
when i get it wrong
i'll play my little song
no one to anger

i always put my foot in it
i try real hard but i can't fit
i walk thru life a great big twit
i think i'll runaway to china
why must i hang my head in shame
originalitys to blame
do i really have to be the same
i think i'll runaway to china
i'll live up on a mountainside
in a cottage made for one
play solitaire for fun and win at scrabble
no one there to laugh at me
when i get it wrong
i'll play my little song
no one to anger
