Fool's Paradise Songtext
von Swingadelic

I often think of the life I′ve led
And it's a wonder that I ain′t dead
Drinkin' and gamblin'
Stayin′ out all night
Livin′ in a fool's paradise

Oh, my mama told me
Papa told me too
Someday my child things gonna catch up with you
Oh, with your drinkin′ and gamblin'
Stayin′ out all night
Livin' in a fool′s paradise

Oh, I know I've learned my lesson
From all those fools who've come my way
Said I′ve learned things in this world
I′ll remember to my dyin' day


Oh, papa told me
Mama said it right
She said "Now, son
Don′t go ruinin' your life
Drinking and gamblin′
Stayin' out all night
Livin′ in a fool's paradise"

Well, you know I've learned my lesson
Like all good fools I′ve met
You know I′ve learned things in this world
I'll remember to my dyin′ day

My papa told me
Mama said it right
Oh, she said "Now, son
Don't go ruinin′ your life
Ooh, with your drinkin' and gamblin′
Stayin' out all night
Livin' in a fool′s paradise"

Livin′ in a fool's paradise
