Fool and His Money

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well you broken before you start A fool and his money compel to part You broken before you start Fool and his money compel to part Squandering and fêteing, living nice In fool's paradise When you money done All company gone [Chorus] So be wise, live nice (let thrift be your guide) Mama yo, think twice (put something aside) Never mind the things they will say 'bout you Do the things that is best to do Have a lot of fun but remember way Sparrow say Keep some for a rainy day [Verse 2] If you're rich they'll bow at your feet You'll nеver know it's deceit And thеy'll never do nothing wrong But they pretending all along Well people like me ain't stand a chance But they'll give you tolerance And you won't detect 'Til you're in trouble up to you neck [Chorus] Mama yo, live nice (let thrift be your guide) Oh, think twice (put something aside) Never mind the things they will say 'bout you Do the things that you have to do Have a lot of fun but remember way Sparrow say Keep some for a rainy day Wepsee mama! [Verse 3] In order for you to learn You could take advice or go and get burn Spend like a sailor and entertain Tom, Dick, Harry, Mary, and Jane Whisky by the grap for them to drink And any time you think All of you is one Wait 'til your money done [Chorus] I tell you be wise, live nice (let thrift be your guide) Mama yo, think twice (put something aside) Never mind the things they will say 'bout you Do the things that is best to do Have a lot of fun, go tell them what Sparrow say Keep some for a rainy day [Verse 4] If you buy people company Buy it with old talk, not with money When you broke they will pass you straight They always hurry, they always late Because they can't enjoy life at your expense So no more tolerance That's the truth my friends That's the way a fool and his money ends [Chorus] So be wise, live nice (let thrift be your guide) Mama yo, think twice (put something aside) Never mind the things they will say 'bout you Do the things that is best to do Have a lot of fun, go go tell them what Sparrow say Keep some for a rainy day (Let thrift be your guide) (Put something aside) (Let thrift be your guide) (Put something aside) (Let thrift be your guide) (Put something aside)
