I had Cadillac's in my future

Debutantes in my past

I made a deal with the devil for a whole lot of money

Thinkin' it would last and last

But a fool and his money are bound to part

And what goes up must come down

So take my advice, don't trust the roll of the dice

Keep your feet on solid ground



I used to have money one time

Life of adventure and crime

I used to have money one time

Lots of women and wine

But who's gonna tell a fool? Who's gonna tell a fool?

Who's gonna tell a fool? That he ain't cool



Now thems were hard times back in the eighties bous

People barely had enough to get by

But oh not me foot loose and fancy free

There was nothing to myself I'd deny

So fellas listen to my story now

Though you have heard this tale befo'

Take care of your needs and watch out for your greeds

Or that wolf will be at your door



I used to have money one time

Life of adventure and crime

I used to have money one time

Now I ain't got a dime

But who's gonna be the fool? Who's gonna be the fool?

Who's gonna be the fool? It still ain't cool.



Who's gonna tell a fool? Who's gonna tell a fool?

Who's gonna tell a fool? It still ain't cool.
