I was climbing up a tree
when I fell and broke my arm.
At the tree on the hill,
on my grandad's farm.
I was walking through a wood,
when I fell and cut my knee.
I fell over stones
on the ground I didn't see.

I was swimming in a stream
when I hurt my little toe.
The accident happened
about twenty days ago.
I stepped into a cave
that I wanted to explore
when I fell into a hole.
Now my elbow's very sore.

Accidents happen all the time.
Accidents happen all the time.
I said, accidents happen all the time.
Are you ready, are you ready for the rhythm and the rhyme?

Accidents happen,
they happen all the time.
They happen when it rains,
and when the sun shines.
Accidents happen,
they happen everywhere.
They happen over here,
and they happen over there.

Accidents, ohhh. Accidents, ohhh.
Accidents, ohhh. Accidents, ohhh.

I was walking in the country
when I fell into a lake.
Now I've got a cold,
and a bad stomach-ache.
My dad was cooking burgers
at a weekend barbecue
when he burned his fingers
after cooking just a few.

Accidents happen all the time.
Accidents happen all the time.
I said, accidents happen all the time.
Are you ready, are you ready for the rhythm and the rhyme?

Accidents happen,
they happen all the time.
They happen when it rains,
and when the sun shines.
Accidents happen,
they happen everywhere.
They happen over here,
and they happen over there.
Accidents happen,
they happen all the time.
They happen when it rains,
and when the sun shines.
Accidents happen,
they happen everywhere.
They happen over here,
and they happen over there."
