Oy, The Mistakes I Made - Rick Moranis

Oy, the mistakes I made

I should have spent more time in the shade

Kept the curtains closed

So the fabrics wouldn’t fade

Oy the mistakes I made

Oy, the money I spent

Why’d I have to buy in Boynton

For three weeks I could rent

Instead I paid the maintenance

While cousins came and went

Oy, the money I spent

I can take an insignificant pain

Turn it into a runaway train

I keep doing it again and again

It just feels so damn good

To complain

Oy, the days I blew

Collecting all that stupid Steuben

Why not just a few

Maria broke the porcupine

The frog and swans too

Oy, the days I blew

It just feels so damn good

To complain

Oy, the things I’ve said

Slipped out in conversations

Landing like a piece of lead

Making any sort of interaction

Something that I dread

Oy, the things I’ve said

An empty seat for someone to fill in

That Linda Rosen seemed so nice and willin'

I used a recipe from Calvin Trillin

Things were going well till I

Tied her up with my tefillin

Oy, the mistakes I hope to make

If I live a long time

That’s why I gave up cake

Now I’m sprinkling flax seed

On a three ounce piece of steak

Probably just another mistake

I wonder if my flax seed is fake

This is why I lay awake

Thinking about my mistakes

It just feels so damn good

To complain
