Learn How to Fail

Sand without a pail

Throwing rocks, your hands in the well

Little toes and colds

Soon it won't be long

Don't worry what you're told

That's my loss

No Easter Bunny and there's no Santa Claus



First you must learn how to fail

Before you're allowed to do anything real

First you must learn how to fail



You're growin' up much too fast

Soon you'll be dating

Boys that laughed

Pulling pigtails

Whatever they'll be wearing in a ten-year rail

Sand without a pail

Playin' with me until I'm too old to see



First you must learn how to fail

Before you're allowed to do anything real

First you must learn how to fail

Before you're allowed to do anything real



First you must learn how to fail

Before they'll let you do anything real

First you must learn how to fail

Before you're allowed to do anything real

(Anytime now)

First you must learn how to fail

How to fail

How to fail

How to fail

How to fail

How to fail

Don't worry baby

You'll do just fine

Don't worry baby

Everything is fine

How to fail...
