I'D BE A FOOL TO TRY

Once in a lifetime you see her - The one with the innocent smile
You think you've made a big hit - But you're out by a mile
She can't be wooed with your flowers - Gets nauseous when you start to sing
Why is she full of these powers? - I'm cautious as anything

I'm walking down the lonesome road How can I help but cry - Oh!
Lickety split I'm back in the shit- I'd be a fool to try

I went to school for the summer to learn Patagonian law
Had a big crush on the teacher And now it's all raw
We spent our days at the ocean Then mystical nights at the sea
I felt like Amos and Andy Whenever she smiled at me

I'm walking down the lonesome road How can I help but cry - Oh!
Lickety split I'm back in the shit - I'd be a fool to try

And now my days they are numbered- I seem to have run out of words
I gave the one with the innocent smile to the birds
She joined a convent on thursday -By friday night she balled the Pope
Saturday she was found hanging - From Bony Maroni's rope

I'm walking down the lonesome road How can I help but cry - Oh!
Lickety split I'm back in the shit - I'd be a fool to try
