[A little ducks and a little doll
It's time to say something to really embarrass them all
You tell a joke but no one laughed
You asked a question they did not dare ask
So you make a mistake
That's ok
Cause you got to try new things
You can't be scared
So we have this little song
In the key of G
And it's called
I'm not Afraid to make mistakes
Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers]
A little touch and a little gall
This time you really embarrassed them all
You told a joke and no one laughed
You danced when they did not dance
So you made a mistake
I know it stinks
But you can't be scared
To try new things
And I'm not afraid
To make mistakes
Anyhow
Yeah
A little call and a little trucks
This time they really think you're nuts
The way you walk like no one does
The way you do stuff just because
So you make a mistake
And let's say it hurts
For playing big stakes
Is so much worse
I'm not afraid to make mistakes anyhow
Asa gonna rock you one time
A little guts and a little gall
This time you really embarrassed them all
Told that joke and no one laughed
Ask what they did not get asked
So you made a mistake
I know it hurts
But playing things safe
Is so much worse
And I'm not afraid to make mistakes anyhow
No
No I'm not afraid of making mistakes
A little, a little ??? and a little ???
A little duck [now we're in[[key]]]
A little ducks and a little ???
This time you really embarrassed them all
You told a joke when no one laughed
You asked a question you weren't supposed to ask
So you make a mistake
But that's okay
Cause you got to try new things some kind of way
And I'm not afraid to make mistakes anyhow
A little ??? and a little ???
This time they really think you're nuts
You did a thing that no one has done
And you do it, just because
So you make a mistake
???
Playing it safe is so much worse
And I'm not afraid to make mistakes anyhow
???
Yeah
[??? Nice guitar ???]
A little ??? and a little ???
This time you really embarrassed them all
You told a joke when no one laughed
They all wish that you'd just shut up
So you make a mistake
But that's not bad
Cause playing it safe
Is twice that sad
And I'm not afraid to make mistakes anyhow
[Asa, take a bridge]
A little ??? and a little ???
This time they really think you're nuts
The way you walk like no one does
The way you do things just because
So you make a mistake
That's all right
If playing it safe makes you too uptight
And I'm not afraid to make mistakes, and I never was
