[Chorus]
Accidents happen, that's what they say
(That's what they say)
Accidents happen, night or day
(Night or day)
Accidents happen when you're awake or you're nappin'
Accidents happen and that's okay

(Sometimes, accidents can happen when you are busy playing, y'know, and you do not want to stop to use the potty)
(That's right!)

[Verse 1]
Sometimes you're not really sure
If you should go to the potty or play some more
But if you went too late, you'll have to run through the door
And then you might go on the floor!

[Chorus]
Accidents happen
(Accidents happen!)
That is what they say
(That's what they say!)
Accidents happen
(Accidents happen!)
Night or day
(They happen night or day)
Accidents happen if you're awake or you're nappin'
Accidents happen and that's okay
(And sometimes, even after you know how to use the potty during the day, you can still have accidents at night)
(Oh, yes, yes; many kids wear training pants only at nighttime, just in case)

[Verse 2]
Every once in a while, you know you might
Have an accident when you're asleep at night
And that's okay, yeah, that's all right
Mom and Dad will help you clean up and then you'll sleep tight

[Chorus]
'Cause accidents happen
(Accidents happen!)
That's what they say
(That's what they say!)
Oh, accidents happen
(Accidents happen!)
They happen night or day
(They happen night or day)
Accidents happen when you're awake or you're nappin'
Accidents happen and that's okay

(But sometimes, sometimes you can stop accidents from happening)
(Yes, there are ways to tell if you have to use the bathroom)

[Verse 3]
Sometimes that feeling sneaks up on you
When you've got to pee or you've got to poo
But your body's gonna give you a clue
So listen to what it is telling you
But if you don't get there in time
It's not a crime
Just try and make it to the potty next time
[Chorus]
Oh, accidents happen
(Accidents happen!)
That is what they say
(That's what they say!)
Oh, accidents happen
(Accidents happen!)
Night or day!
(They happen night or day)
Oh, accidents happen
(Accidents happen!)
When you're awake or you're nappin'
Accidents happen and that's oka-ay!
Accidents happen and that's okay!
