Songtexte Only Fools Have Fun - Memphis Slim

Yes, now that same little guy
He's here every Saturday night
Ballin' on the little salary he earns
Man, he spends his money so freely
You'd think he's got money to burn

But after all is said and done
Only fools have fun

Now that little girl that's been dancin' with him
She's all in drink, man, she never heard of before
Ah, but what does she care?
After all, she says, "Not her dough"
But when she wake up in the morning with a hangover
Can't get to her grits
And that so-called fool had to go to work
So he got up and split
But he's a nice guy
He left a note sayin'
"Here's two dollars, it was wonderful, my pet"
So she ended up with sore feet from dancin'
A hangover from drinkin'
And two dollars, and all wet

So after all is said and done
Only fools have fun

When you see that cat sittin' at the bar
Man, he sure got beautiful hair
Man, his hair's so wavy and curly
His identity ain't there
But I'm gonna let you in on a little secret
I've seen that cat before he got up out of the bed
He's easy to identify
With that black scarf on his head
But man, do I need to go any further?
You know who he is
He's my soul brother

So after all is said and done
Only fools have fun
