The Anti-Ashamnu (To be sung to the tune of "Ashamnu") ai ai ai ai ai ai ai …..... Not my fault It wasn’t me It wasn’t so bad He deserved it ai ai ai ai ai ai ai …..... Everyone was doing it It didn’t hurt anybody Get over it already You’re too sensitive ai ai ai ai ai ai ai …..... It’s just the way I am Nobody’s perfect I had to   I needed to I couldn’t pass it up Think of everything really good that I do I had the best of intentions It’s not nearly as bad   as what a lot of other people   get away with every day ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ….....
