You're gonna trip, stumble, and fall.
And though I know you're having a ball,

Someone's gonna make you crawl.
(Someone's gonna make you crawl.)
You're gonna stumble and fall.

You see it; you grab it (you see it; you grab it).
You've got yourself (you've got yourself..)
A very bad habit (a habit, yeah).
You know you're on soft ground.
(Oh, you're on soft ground,)
You'd better look around
(Yeah, you better look around.)
One wrong step and that's all.
(One wrong step and that's all.)
You're gonna stumble and fall.
Some little bird is gonna put her eye on you, yeah.

And when it's your turn to burn,
You'll know that it's cruel.
You're gonna be a...(yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fool.

You're gonna trip (trip, stumble), trip, stumble, stumble and fall
You're gonna trip (trip, stumble), trip, stumble, stumble and fall
You're gonna trip (trip), stumble (stumble),
Trip (trip), stumble and fall.
