"Fool Button" lyrics
"Fool Button"
I woke up in a strange room I'd never seen before
Weird paintings on the walls, mirrors on the ceilings
I bolted for the door
Lookin' for my rent-a-car, was the Cordoba blue or red?
Tryin' to remember where I put the keys
Tryin' to remember what I said
I pushed the fool button
My night went haywire
I pushed the fool button
Set my brain on fire
I was sittin' in the corner of a very laid-back bar
A little three-piece band playin' on the stand
Not knowin' what lay in store
In a flash, a man with a hat and a harmonica stormed the stage
The crowd went berserk, the band said, "What a jerk"
As he went into a blues rampage
It was a fool palace
Double-knit on parade
They pushed the fool button
As the skinny boy played and played
Push it, push it, push it
Try to make a point of protectin' the innocent
But none of them can be found
It can happen any time, happen any place
It can happen in your own home town
If you don't believe my words
Or think my story's true
Get a bottle of rum and a Eskatrol
And watch the same thing happen to you
We'll push the fool button
I'll meet you in the bar
We'll push the fool button
Where everyone's a star
Jimmy pushed the fool button
He pushed it like a fool, Bubba
Pushin' like a fool
Pushed the button like a fool
Pushed the fool button
Pushed it like a fool
Pushed the button like a fool
