everybody has the right to be wrong

everybody has the right

to be wrong

at least once

everybody has the right

to be dunce-like

once-like

not being too smart is

no disgrace

what sets you apart is

smiling with egg on your face

it's naive

to make believe

that you're right

it ain't bright

only fools go walking

on thin ice

twice

you and life

can skip the strife

and you'll both get along

all it takes

is simply saying

you're wrong

when you're wrong

and everybody has the right

to be wrong

you and life

can skip the strife

and you'll both get along

all it takes

is simply saying

you're wrong

when you're wrong

and everybody has the right

to be wrong

it can be a real delight to be

and you know i'd fight

for the right to be

never think that it's uptight to be

sometimes it is

out of sight to be

everybody has the right

to be wrong
