about

Owie happens. But if you sing about it, it helps.

lyrics

I was sitting on my daddy's shoulders
To the hot springs we were bound
He tripped and I fell off
Now I\'m lying on the ground

Owie, owie, owie
Owie-owie-owie-owie-owww (2x)

I was looking out my window
Sitting on the windowsill
When the wind blew and I fell out
And I took quite a spill

I was swinging on the swingset
Swinging up so high
So high that I fell off it
Now I think I'm gonna cry

I was playing by a coconut tree
"Watch out!" somebody said
Then a coconut fell from way up there
And landed on my head
