Message Bookmarked

The lyrics of Bad Sign, Good Sign, written by Julian More and Monty Norman, are as follows:

I was born with this unlucky sneeze
And what is worse I came into the world the wrong way round
Pundits all agree I am the reason why
My father fell into the village pond and drowned.

Ack.

At least those words are not supposed to be about James Bond!

But imagine if.

I'm trying to figure out how that works with the existing melody. Some extra syllables must have been lost somewhere along the line. And if I try to mentally hear the James Bond theme with those words for some reason it's automatically in the voice of Shirley Bassey.
