The Ballad Of Bo The French Immigrant

It sucks to be me
It sucks to be me
I don’t have a job,
I’m under employed,
And my food isn’t free
--
It sucks to be me
It sucks to be me
I came on a boat,
All I speak is French,
And I’m just Five-foot-three
--
It sucks to be me
It sucks to be me
I dropped out of school,
I look like a fool,
And my dog now has fleas
--
It sucks to be me
It sucks to be me
But now I don’t care,
I find a buck here and there,
And there are no taxes on me!

The author's comments:
I wrote a comic about Bo, a French immigrant, a while ago, and this was kind of inspired by it, or based on it, I guess.
