The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
The likes of you may never be
Attracted to the likes of me
But accidents will happen
And I’ll be around
And maybe there’ll be
No-one else but me around
For evermore may never start
You may ignore my hopeful heart
And chances are I’m not the one
To make you fall
But accidents will happen after all
A smile may show it
Your eyes may glow
Before you know it
I’m sure I’ll know, so
If you fall in just that way
Oh, wouldn’t I be thrilled
To hear you say
“I had a lovely accident today”
Your eyes may glow
I’m sure I’ll know
