[Intro: Fast Ska upbeat, Balkan trumpet blast, Wah-wah guitar] (Opa! Listen close! I made one mistake!) (Backing Vocals: [laughing] Only one? Since when?) [Verse 1: Fast Ska rhythm, clean guitar] I’m a saint, I’m a star, I’m a perfect man I follow the rules whenever I can But I went to the tavern, just for a drink And I lost my soul in a rhythmic blink! I gave all my money to the band on the stage Now my wallet is empty, like a bird in a cage! (Backing Vocals: [shout] That’s a big one!) It’s a small investment in a heavy ton! [Chorus: Balkan Folk-Ska fusion, heavy brass hits] My only mistake is a million small things It’s the empty pockets and the broken rings! It’s the wrong direction on a one-way street It’s the salt in the coffee and the smelly feet! Opa! Just one mistake, that’s what I say But I make it again every single day! [Verse 2: Faster, syncopated Balkan brass] I saw my neighbour, she’s nice and she’s kind I talked for two seconds... or was it behind? Two seconds too much and my wife saw the scene Now the air in the house is cold and mean! And the biggest disaster, the king of the crimes: I forgot our anniversary... a thousand times! (Backing Vocals: [dramatic stop] OH NO! SHE’S GONNA KILL YOU!) [Bridge: heavy Wah-wah synth] (Music slows down, oriental synth vibes) I missed the flight, I missed the train I’m spending my pension on a gypsy refrain. The neighbour is waving, the wife is a storm I’m sleeping in the doghouse where it’s nice and warm! [Sax & Trumpet Solo: Fast, chaotic Balkan brass madness] [Final Chorus: Maximum Energy, Folk-Punk style] My only mistake is a million small things It’s the tavern music and the anniversary stings! It’s the chatty neighbour and the empty floor I’m a perfect disaster, give me some more! [Outro: Fast Skank finish] One mistake! (Backing Vocals: The tavern?) No, the wife! (Backing Vocals: Good luck with that!) [Sudden stop]
