I read a book of Ar … istotle,
When life for me was still brand new.
I thought I should achieve … perfection,
When all my studying was through.
Much older now, I still (ah!) engage in,
The acts I know I should eschew.
I know I’m really not … supposed to,
But every now and then I do.

Chorus
Woo Hoo, Yes I do,
Every now and then I do.
Boo Hoo, Sad but true,
Every now and then I do.

I had a little fen … der bender.
They sent a check for what was due.
Mistakenly, they sent … another.
I had my bankers put it through!
I never meant to keep (ah!) the money,
Or interest that should thus accrue.
I knew that I was not … supposed to,
But every now and then I do.

Chorus

A customer who comes … to visit,
Pays with a twenty he’s through.
But as you put it in … the strongbox,
You see he’s give not one but two!
You wonder should you tell (ah!) your partner,
She’ll ask to share the revenue.
You know you’re really not … supposed to,
But every now and then you do.

Chorus

You stop to buy a cup … of coffee,
You think you’ll have a doughnut, too.
You see a tall brunette … in high heels.
She takes a second look at you.
You know you’ve got a wife (ah!) and family,
You know you’d promised to be true.
You know you’re really not … supposed to,
But every now and then you do.

Chorus

I hope you’ve found illu … minating,
This casuistry for your review.
But if you are anti … cipating,
The answers then take this in lieu.
At times our pride can o (ah!) vertake us,
We speak as if we think we knew!
You know we’re really not … supposed to,
But every now and then we do.

Chorus
