Fool and His Money - Mighty Sparrow

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

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

If you’re rich they’ll bow at your feet

You’ll nver know it’s deceit

And thy’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

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!

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

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

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

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
