Lyrics

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 finishin' 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 Dadoop x 2

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

She said " 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 things for cert
You have to go fool around 'til someone gets hurt

Hoo Doo Doo Doo Doop. Doop Doop Dadoop X 2

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 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 2 times with his big ol' staff
I told a joke she didn't laugh

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 certain
You have to go fool around 'til someone starts hurtin'

Fool around fool around
Hoo doo doo doo doop
Fool around fool around
Hoo doo doo doo doop
