Embarrassing moments-well I've had a few
Like sneaking up behind someone I knew
Least I thought I did and I gave a big hug
Turned out this person was wearing a rug
As I patted his hair it came off in my hand
Then he whirled around ah-now I understand!
Never saw this guy before in my life
He wasn't amused-neither was his wife!
Then there was the time I was on the high dive
To impress a young man a stunt I did contrive
I would jump off while doing a triple back flip
Cos' I looked pretty cute in my two-piece so hip
Unbeknownst to me my top wouldn't make it
Sure wasn't my plan when I dove,not to take it
The girls they were flying bare in the breeze
Just bobbing and waving as free as you please
The young man sure did get an eyeful that day
I felt so embarrassed as I slunk away
Yes,embarrassing moments I've sure had my share
But the older I get-well it's less that I care!
