"Cool Ole Fool" lyrics

I'm a cool ol' fool and I don't care who knows it
A cool ol' fool, been cool since I was born
My ex-wife said, "Why can't you be serious?"
So I went out and had my left ear pierced
I'm a cool ol' fool and I'll be cool from now on
No one tells me how to live my life twice
I work and play in my own way
I give but never take advice
I'm a cool ol' fool, a contented divorcee
A cool ol' fool, got a sunshine happy home
I've got a son and he's fourteen
He's doing a good job raising me
I'm a cool ol' fool and I'll be cool from now on

I'm a cool ol' fool, now would you please excuse me
A cool ol' fool, got a lady on the phone
Hello, baby, sure it's me
Who else could say "hello" that way?
I'm a cool ol' fool and I'll be cool from now on
They call me Mr. Personality, yodel-ay-ee
How I ever got this cool
It's still a downtown mystery
I'm a cool ol' fool, find my own way to town
A cool ol' fool, the women bring me home
Doing things like someone else
Is something I can't do myself
I'm a cool ol' fool and I'll be cool from now on
I'm a cool ol' fool and I'll be cool from now on
