A subtle mistake, just one letter is all
Such mishaps are rare, I'm sure you'll agree
The error was tragic, the error was small

You're catatonic. Your daughter's holding a doll
This visit's unusual, I'll refund your fee
A subtle mistake, just one letter is all

There's a hole in the ceiling, someone could fall
A bug in the system, a B not a T
The error was tragic, the error was small

To give you this check, that's the crux of my call
Overcharged for retrieval you see
A subtle mistake, just one letter is all

His body, you asked, I'm not trying to stall
I do sympathize with your plea
The error was tragic, the error was small

Is that someone I know? I must run down the hall
Though believe me I've wanted to flee
A subtle mistake, just one letter is all
The error was tragic, the error was small
