Everyone Makes Mistakes - Big Bird

作词：Jeff Moss

I've a special secret children ought to know

It's about the little mistakes

You make as you begin to grow

If you make a mistake

You shouldn't start to cry

Mistakes are not so bad and here is why:

Oh everyone makes mistakes

Oh yes they do

Your sister and your brother and

Your dad and mother too

Big people small people

Matter of fact all people

Everyone makes mistakes

So why can't you

If you make a mistake while counting to ten

Well don't get mad and don't be sad

Just start to count again

And if you should only get to eight or nine

I'm still your friend and I still like you fine

'Cause everyone makes mistakes

Oh yes they do

Your sister and your brother

And your dad and mother too

Big people small people

Matter of fact all people

Everyone makes mistakes

So why can't you

If you spill a glass of milk all over the floor

Well your mom and dad still like

You just as much as they did before

'Cause when Mother

And Dad were just as small as you

I'll bet that they knocked their milk over too

'Cause everyone makes mistakes

Oh yes they do

Your sister and your brother

And your dad and mother too

Big people small people

Matter of fact all people

Everyone makes mistakes

So why can't you

If everyone in the

Whole wide world makes mistakes

Then why can't you
