Way back yonder in the days of old,
The men was working butnot saving any dough.
Then came a woman looking real cool.

She said toherself, "Now that's my fool."
I'm gonna ball tonight.
I'm gonna ball tonight.
Well, Ican't break the rule because
Every man is some woman's fool.
Met a girl on the avenue,
She was shy and I was blue,
Likea teacher and a student in school,
Looked at me and said, "You're myfool."
