Fool's Paradise

I often think off the live I've led

And oh, it's a wonder, I ain't dead

Drinking and gambling, staying out all night

Living is a fool's paradise

My mother told me and my father told me too

Said my child, it's 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, my 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
