Square Peg

Written by

Errol Walsh

I'm a square peg in a round hole, baby it's true

If I was a bird in a nest I’d have to be a Cuckoo

See I don't fit.... I got no place to go

And I ain't got nobody wants to save my soul

I'm a square peg in a round hole, baby it's true


If I was a town on a map you'd never find me babe

If I was a telephone you'd never hear me ring

Sometimes I come up short on class

But I don't give a monkey's or a rat's ass

That's just me... hey baby... that's me


If I was a page in a book I'd be the page that's missing....

If I was a hole in your shoe I'd find you water pretty quick....

Anything that makes no sense, like a 12 foot hole in a 5 foot fence

That's me... yeah baby... that's me


Yeah well maybe if I was just a little less bloody-minded

I might not get so blinded by the light

Who's that fool wearing dark sunglasses at midnight ?

Can you see?... is it me?

Hah!.. You know it had to be me


'Cos I'm a square peg in a round hole, it's true

If I was a bird in a nest I’d have to be a Cuckoo

Man I don't fit.... I got no place to go

And I ain't got nobody wants to save my soul

I'm a square peg in a round hole, it's true

Square peg ....Round hole, it's true

Yeah I'm a square peg baby in a round hole, it's true
