Fool Button Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Fool Button 

By: Jimmy Buffett 

1978 

I woke up in a strange room 

I'd never seen before 

Weird paintin's on the walls 

Mirrors on the ceiling 

I bolted for the door 

Lookin' for my rentacar 

Was the Cordoba blue or red 

Tryin' to remember where I put the keys 

Tryin' to remember what I said

Chorus: 

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 

Chorus: 

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 

Photos 

Try to make a point of protectin' the innocent 

But none of them can be found 

It can happen anytime 

Happen anyplace 

It can happen in your own home town 

If you don't believe my words 

Or think my story's true 

Get a bottle of rum and a Eskatrol 

And watch the same thing happen to you 

Chorus: 

We'll push the fool button 

I'll meet you in the bar 

We'll push the fool button 

Where everyone's a star 

(Jimmy pushed the fool button) 

(He pushed it like a fool, Bubba) 

(Pushin' like a fool) 

(Pushed the button like a fool) 

(Pushed the fool button) 

(Pushed it like a fool) 

(Pushed the button like a fool)
