Lyrics
Went out with friends, it was a good plan Then someone passed me the microphone in my hand Song came on and I knew one line The rest I made up and it took a long time Everybody stared, nobody blinked Even the bartender had to think Karaoke was a mistake Oh-oh-oh, mistake! Karaoke was a mistake Oh-oh-oh, mistake! I hit the note and the note hit back Now the whole bar's got my back Karaoke was a mistake, but I'd do it again Missed the key and then the beat Lost the lyrics and found my feet Jumped on a chair, the chair said no Now I'm on the floor and I'm stealing the show Everybody stared, nobody blinked Even the bartender had to think Karaoke was a mistake Oh-oh-oh, mistake! Karaoke was a mistake Oh-oh-oh, mistake! I hit the note and the note hit back Now the whole bar's got my back Karaoke was a mistake, but I'd do it again One more song, one more song I know I'm wrong, I'm singing along Karaoke was a mistake Oh-oh-oh, mistake! Karaoke was a mistake Oh-oh-oh, mistake! I hit the note and the note hit back Now the whole bar's got my back Karaoke was a mistake, but I'd do it again
