I’m worried, I’m bored 

I’m in trouble, I’m tormented 

I have no morale, I have no money 

I have no luck, I have no friends 

I’m unlucky, I have taxes

I have hay sickness, I have a toothache

But I don’t want to become someone new

Because I like the hassle 

I am a responsible man 

I don’t hide my head in the sand 

I don’t want to sing like a grandfather 

In life, you shouldn’t worry 

Because if I worry myself today 

It’s because yesterday, he laughed

And tomorrow if I have kids 

I want them to have happy lives 

The more worries I have, the better it is 

I whisk them away like whey 

What I love more than anything is worrying 

I feast on it all the time 

But I also love disasters 

That place my life in an apostrophe 

When things are going well I’m unhappy 

When things are going bad I’m very happy 

I am a responsible man 

I don’t hide my head in the sand 

I don’t want to sing like a grandfather 

In life, you shouldn’t worry 

And I want to sing on the contrary 

In life you have to worry 

In order to always be united 

With people like me who see clearly 

I am a responsible man

I am a responsible man

I am a responsible man

I am a responsible man

*I'm not sure what this means and it doesn't appear to exist on the internet. It's not hay fever, it may be an outdated term that I'm unable to research from 70 years ago.
