I woke up in a strange room

That I'd never seen before

Weird paintings on the wall

And mirrors on the ceiling

I bolted for the door.



Looking 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.



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.



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.



I try to make a point of protecting the innocent

But none of them can be found

I can happen anytime

It can happen any place

It can happen in your own hometown



And if you don't believe my words

Or think my story's true

Get a bottle of rum and an 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.
