Tom Paxton Oops Lyrics

We got a brand new puppy
We called that puppy “Clyde”
Mom said I'd have to train him
To wait and go outside
I started watching TV
The time went flying by
But when I saw what Clyde had done
I thought that I would die
Oops!
I made a big mistake
Oops!
I didn't calculate
I thought I'd be okay
And then oops!
I'm sorry
We came home with the groceries
Bags and bags of stuff
My job was putting things away
And that was not so tough
But first I started playing
And then I played some more
Till all the frozen groceries
Were dripping on the floor
Oops!
I made a big mistake
Oops!
I didn't calculate
I thought I'd be okay
And then oops!
I'm sorry
My clothes were really dirty
I packed them up and then
I took them to the Laundromat To get them clean again
I bought a box of soap suds
As wide as it was tall
I wasn't sure how much to use
And so I used it all
Oops!
I made a big mistake
Oops!
I didn't calculate
I thought I'd be okay
And then oops!
I'm sorry
Last Friday was my bath night
I ran the water hot
I put in all my ships and boats
(I like my boats a lot)
And while the tub was filling
I took a walk around
I was downstairs with Momma
When I heard a splashing sound
Oops!
I made a big mistake
Oops!
I didn't calculate
I thought I'd be okay
And then oops!
I'm sorry
Oops!
I made a big mistake
Oops!
I didn't calculate
I thought I'd be okay
And then oops!
I'm sorry
I thought I'd be okay
And then oops!
I'm sorry
