He shouldn't have gone back that third time, that was Henry's mistake
He shouldn't have gone back that third time, he would have me to thank
He shouldn't have gone back, he was brave in a way
But I'd rather be healthy than brave any day
So he shouldn't have gone back that third time, that was Henry's mistake
He shouldn't have gone back that fourth time, it was bound to go wrong
He shouldn't have gone back, not to brag, but I knew all along
He shouldn't have gone back, I knew he'd get burned
I guess that poor Henry, he will never learn
So he shouldn't have gone back that fourth time, it was bound to go wrong
Well Henry, you'll cry
And write all your thoughts on little pieces of paper
But Henry, oh my
Please don't you make that same mistake
He shouldn't have gone back for that fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth
He shouldn't have gone back -- mm, he would have me to thank
Well I'm not saying if he hadn't gone back
That he wouldn't have suffered that eventual crack
But he shouldn't have gone back that last time -- mmm!
Well Henry, you'll cry
And write all your thoughts on little pieces of paper
But Henry, oh my
Please don't you make that same mistake
