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, is no disgrace What sets you apart is smilin' with egg on your face Its naive to make believe that you're right, it's not 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 [brief musical interlude] You and life can skip the strife and you'll both get along All it takes is simply sayin' you're wrong when you're wrong And everybody has the right to be It can be a real delight to be And I'd fight, fight for the right to be wrong [Spoken:] "At least once!"
