Lyrics for 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 mother told me and my father told me too Said my child, it'll all catch up with you Drinking and gambling, staying out all night Living in a fool's paradise Though I've learned my lesson Like all fools I've met Oh, I've learned things in this life That I haven't forgotten yet My father told me, mother said it right Said my son, you're ruining your life Drinking and gambling, staying out all night Living in a fool's paradise Oh yeah, living in a fool's paradise
