All the gains you make can be easily reversed
And make you slide back down the mountain you have climbed
As every scheme and plan is undermined
And you know the bubble is about to burst,
‘cause its gone Pear Shaped

If the stock market has run right out of stock,
Your living expenses have gone through the roof 
And you roof leaks then you need no further proof
That your cherished dreams are headed for a knock
‘cause they’ve gone Pear Shaped

These are the days your soufflé simply will not rise,
Or the boss announces that he has to let you go
When the curtain will not go up on your show;
We all have them; it should come as no surprise
When life goes Pear Shaped.

All things must go Pear Shaped on fine day
This is one of life’s most fundamental rules
Ignored at their peril by knaves and fools
So let’s eat, drink, be merry while we may,
We’ll all go Pear Shaped.
