Fool bu*ton
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 bu*ton
My night went haywire
I pushed the fool bu*ton
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 bu*ton
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 a eskatrol
And watch the same thing happen to you
Chorus:
We'll push the fool bu*ton
I'll meet you in the bar
We'll push the fool bu*ton
Where everyone's a star
(jimmy pushed the fool bu*ton)
(he pushed it like a fool, bubba)
(pushin' like a fool)
(pushed the bu*ton like a fool)
(pushed the fool bu*ton)
(pushed it like a fool)
(pushed the bu*ton like a fool)
