Jimmy Buffett
Fool Button
Written by - Jimmy Buffett
From - Son Of a Son Of a Sailor
I woke up in a strange room 
I'd never seen before 
Weird paintings on the walls 
Mirrors on the ceiling 
I bolted for the door 

Lookin' 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 

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 an Escatrol 
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 

(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)
