《FOOLISH QUESTIONS》歌词

[00:00:05] Now you've all heard foolish questions and no doubt you've wondered why

[00:00:13] Some person will ask a foolish question and expect a sensible reply

[00:00:22] Like when you take your girl some candy say maybe just after tea

[00:00:28] You notice how she'll grab it and then she'll say Is this for me

[00:00:38] Foolish questions you can answer when you can

[00:00:42] No I bought this candy for your Ma or Pa or for John the hired hand

[00:00:46] I just thought you'd like to see it now I'm gonna take it away

[00:00:50] Now wasn't that a foolish question You'll hear 'em ev'ry day

[00:00:58] And then most every morning there is someone 'round the place

[00:01:02] Who sees you take the shaving brush and lather up your face

[00:01:06] And as you give the razor a preliminary wave

[00:01:11] This fool will walk up and ask you Are you gonna take a shave

[00:01:20] Foolish questions your answer is I hope

[00:01:23] No I ain't prepared for shavin' I just like the taste of soap

[00:01:27] I kinda like to take the shaving brush and paint myself this way

[00:01:33] Now wasn't that a foolish question You'll hear 'em ev'ry day

[00:01:37] Now then there's this fella who meets you on your way

[00:01:45] And asks you why your all dressed up and listens while you say

[00:01:51] That you just been returning from the funeral of poor old Uncle Ned

[00:01:58] As soon as you have told him he will say Is Ned dead

[00:02:00] Foolish questions you might as well reply

[00:02:03] No he thought he'd have the funeral now then later on he'd die

[00:02:06] You know Ned was always so original he wanted it that way

[00:02:14] Now wasn't that a foolish question You'll hear 'em ev'ry day

[00:02:23] Now suppose the elevator guy should forget to close the door

[00:02:29] And you should tumble down oh say forty seven floors

[00:02:34] And when you reach the bottom and you're lying there inert

[00:02:38] Some fool will stick his head down the shaft and holler Are you hurt

[00:02:43] Foolish questions your dying words are

[00:02:46] No I was in an awful hurry and that elevator's just too slow

[00:02:53] Usually saves a lot of time you know comin' down this way

[00:02:57] Now wasn't that a foolish question You'll hear 'em ev'ry day

[00:03:01] That was a foolish question you'll hear 'em ev'ry day
