Lyric Fool Button

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)
