Fool's Paradise

I often think off the life I've led And oh, it's a wonder I ain't dead Drinking and gambling, staying out all night Living in a fool's paradise

My mama told me, papa told me too Said my child, it'll all catch up with you Drinking and gambling, staying out all night You living in a fool's paradise

Though I've learned my lesson All of fool that came my way I've learned things in this old world I remember tell me time there

My papa told me, my mother said it right She said my child, you're ruining your life Just drinking and gambling, staying out all night You living in a fool's paradise

Just drinking and gambling, staying out all night You living in a fool's paradise You living in a fool's paradise
