I've made some mistakes in my time
But you are the best mistake of mine
I've made girls happy but mostly sad
I've done a few good things but mostly bad
I think you are my greatest mistake
The best mistake I ever did make
I've made so many, but you take the crown
The one mistake I hope I'll never live down
Hanging round the swimming teacher down by the pool
I told her that I loved her, she snapped back "Fool!"
That hooker I picked up, thinking she'd get clean
She sold my television, now she's back on the scene, but
I think you are my greatest mistake
The best mistake I ever did make
If I had a time machine I'd travel through time
And make you again and again
I've made girls happy but mostly sad
I've done a few good things but mostly bad
I've made some mistakes in my time
But you are the best mistake of mine
I think you are my greatest mistake
The best mistake I ever did make
I've made so many, but you take the crown
The one mistake I hope I'll never live down
Kids, make all the mistakes you can
Because he only comes around the carousel once, the Candy Man
Grab your error by the main
Bounce up and down on the ghost train
Ride your error, clippety clop
On the carousel, and don't stop
With the candy man and see your error's
Sparkling eyes and feel your error and empathise
Hip hop, don't you stop
Grab your error by the main
Bounce up and down on the ghost train
Ride your error, clippety clop
On the carousel, and don't stop, don't stop
I think you are my greatest mistake
The best mistake I ever did make
If I had a time machine I'd travel through time
And make you again and again
You are my triumph, my damnation, my vindication, my eradication
My sentimental education, my syndication, my column
My Gollum, my Rapunzel, my losing face, my saving grace
My losing face, my saving grace
They say to err is human, so let down your err
Let down your hair Rapunzel
Start at the top and let yourself drop
Let yourself down from there...
I think you are my greatest mistake
The best mistake I ever did make
I've made so many, but you take the crown
The one mistake I hope I'll never live down
