Accidents Will Happen |
| All the dreams you’re having |
| You stole them all from me |
| I was having dreams like that |
| Back in 1973 |
| Groovy Boo is banging the ivories |
| In his ancient overcoat |
| Stuffing all his rage and anger |
| Down that old piano’s throat |
| Accidents will happen |
| That’s what accidents are for |
| Accidents will happen |
| And an accident is just an accident |
| I walk through the swinging door |
| See my old girl Mabel |
| Her jawbone hits the floor |
| And her eyeballs roll around the table |
| In a clever act of misdirection |
| I manage with some finesse |
| To scale the ladders in her stockings |
| And creep into her dress |
| Accidents will happen |
| We’ve all had 'em many times before |
| And coincidences are just accidents |
| Nothing less and nothing more |
| I come around when she expects it the least |
| She always looks so strange and tragic |
| She comes on like some juju priest |
| Laying down her own brand of magic |
| She tells me that she’ll be true |
| She ain’t the type to keep her promises |
| I used to be down with the faithful man |
| Now I’m hanging with the doubting Thomases |
| 'Cause accidents keep happening |
| This old world was born from one |
| There are servants they don’t govern |
| And I don’t put too much faith in them |
| Well, let me tell you a little more about Mabel |
| She is shaped like an inverted duck pond chair |
| I roll out my tongue when she walks past |
| Fix her with my famous jelly-eyed stare |
| Her husband is a Cro-magnon man with a magnum |
| He recites the second amendment, Jim |
| Well, accidents will happen |
| I’m hoping one might happen to him |
| We’re accidents waiting to happen |
| You know they’ll be happening for all time |
| While you’re having yours |
| I’ll be having mine |
| Maybe you and I will get it together |
| You and I, we will get in together |
| You and I, we will get it together |
| You and I, we will get it together |
