Lyrics

First Class Fool

1 Well I had big dreams when I left this town
I said "So long honey I'll see you round
When I'm the King of Cool" ("Queen of Cool")

2 "When I come back you'll still be mine
And I might just take my own sweet time"
I musta been kiddin' you!

ch So call me King of Comedy ("Queen of Comedy")
Cos I'm that King of Cool ("Queen of Cool")
I'm a self-made top-grade
First-class fool

3 Got a real fine life, a real fine car
Got a real big house with a private bar
I got a big barstool

4 Well I got big friends, got big money
It'd be big fun if it weren't so funny
Cos I'm still big on you

ch So call me King of Comedy
Call me King of Cool
I'm a self-made top-grade
First-class fool

first-class fool

br I know your love's been tried
Just say your love's been true
Cos darlin' from my side
I'm convicted, I'm pleadin' guilty and I'm
Askin' for mercy from you
Have mercy on this fool

This first-class fool

4 Now it took some time to be the best
Honey you're the proof that I passed the test
But I guess I failed charm school

5 Well I had big dreams, I left this town
I said "So long honey I'll see you round
If you need me - I'll be in my pool!"

ch So call me King of Comedy
Call me King of Cool
I'm a self-made top-grade
First-class fool
A heavy-weight ­gold-plate
First-class fool

So have mercy on this fool
This first-class fool (Mercy!)
This first-class fool (Mercy!)
This first-class fool (Mercy!)
This first-class fool (Mercy!)
