lyrics

No fool like an old fool (Bebop swing) (Wake)

There are fools who claim to know the secret to life
and others don’t know their name.
Fools for money and fools for love
and fools who are just insane.
There are fools for power and fools for fame.
There’s no fool like an old fool.

You call me a scoundrel, call me a thief,
call whatever you like.
You can’t insult me cause I’m immune –
immune at this stage in.my life.
You can call me crazy but I don’t mind
cause I’m a fool for you.

When it comes to money I’ve had my share
and thrown it all away.
I’ve had my chances to make my mark
but wouldn’t you know – I blew them all.

I’ve been waiting for hours, waiting for days,
waiting since I don’t know when.
It’s now or never, there’ll be no regrets
gonna close my eyes and count to ten.
Gonna bebop doodle op bebop swing before I get to old.

When it comes to money I’ve had my share
and thrown it all away.
I’ve had my chances to make my mark
but wouldn’t you know – I blew them all.

I’ve been waiting for hours, waiting for days,
waiting since I don’t know when.
It’s now or never, there’ll be no regrets
gonna close my eyes and count to ten.
Gonna bebop doodle op bebop swing –
There’s no fool like a, no fool like a
see what I mean about bebop swing singing no fool like an old fool.

about

Jim Wake & Sleepwalker image

Jim Wake & Sleepwalker Netherlands

Jim Wake and Sleepwalker, like the musical traditions in blues, rock ’n’ roll, and rhythm blues from which the band draws inspiration, is an experience defying easy description. It is music that swings, drives, bumps and grinds, moans and groans, screams and shouts, and then steps back and turns introspective, plaintive, or nostalgic. ... more
