Everybody Has The Right To Be Wrong

(album: In A Broadway Bag (Mame) - 1966)

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
