Fool button

By: jimmy buffett

1978

I woke up in a strange room

I'd never seen before

Weird paintin's on the walls

Mirrors on the ceiling

I bolted for the door Lookin' for my rentacar

Was the cordoba blue or red

Tryin' to remember where I put the keys

Tryin' to remember what I said Chorus:

I pushed the fool button

My night went haywire

I pushed the fool button

Set my brain on fire Now 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 Chorus:

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 anytime

Happen anyplace

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 Chorus:

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)
