Well...  I lost my job
And my truck broke down
And my dog died and
My girlfriend left me
All because I 
<chorus>Put my faith in reference counting</chorus>
Instead of the good lord above!

<refrain>Yes my luck ran out when the 
reference count went to -1.</refrain>

Now I promise I'll 
<chorus>Swear off of reference counting</chorus>
And quit drinking
And shave
Just as soon as I get sober!

<refrain>Yes my luck ran out when the
Reference count went to -1.</refrain>

But in the mean time
I need to think of
A really good excuse 'cause
I don't know how to explain
<chorus> all my reference counting problems </chorus>
to my wife!

<refrain>Yes my luck ran out when the
Reference count went to -1.</refrain>

<refrain>Yes my luck ran out when the
Reference count went to -1.</refrain>

Will that do or does it need to be longer?
