Lyrics

Watch out! Take care…Go steady there.

A slip of the tongue
And the wrong has been done.
A fatal slip of the tongue;
It can’t be undone.

Having a good talk, with a good friend, over a good meal, in a good place.
Everything is okay…everything is so right.
Saying the right words, in the right way, at the right time, on the right day.
Then something goes wrong…very wrong.

A slip of the tongue
And the wrong has been done.
A fatal slip of the tongue;
It can’t be undone.

Buying into a good thing, at a good price, at a good time; it’s a good deal.
Everything is okay…everything is so right.
Spending the right amount, in the right way, at the right time, in the right place.
Then something goes wrong…very wrong.

A slip of the pen
And the money’s been spent.
A faulty slip of the pen;
It was not your intent.

Watch out! Take care…Go steady there.
Watch out! Take care…Go steady, go steady there
Or you’ll slip-up…Slip-up.

‘Cause when things are just right…a slight mishap…could happen.
Slip-up…
It can happen…just like that…a slight mishap.

Watch out!
