I often think of 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 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 |
