Fool Around
By Bill Colgate

I had myself a beer and then I had some more
I kept on having til they pulled me from the floor
In the race of the human kind
With luck we might stagger 'cross the finishing line

You fool around you fool around you roll in the dirt
You fool around baby til someone gets hurt
All that I know is one thing's for cert
We have to go fool around til someone gets hurt
Hoo Doo Doo Doo Doop
Doop Doop Da Doop
Hoo Doo Doo Doo Doop
Doop Doop Da Doop

I had myself a job had myself a wife
Had a blue collar Springsteen kinda life
Mama was a gypsy this I recall
'Cause since I was a baby she predicted The Fall

Now a fool and his money will soon be apart
A fool in love is a fool of the heart
You can try to lay low can try to be cool
But like the song says everybody plays the fool sometimes

If you play with a pencil you can put out your eye
If you play with the truth then you must be telling lies
Moses knocked three times with his big old staff
I told a joke she didn't laugh

Fool around fool around
Hoo Doo Doo Doo Doop
Fool around fool around
Hoo Doo Doo Doo Doop
Fool around fool around
Hoo Doo Doo Doo Doop
Fool around fool around
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doop
