Lyrics It's Foolish but It's Fun (Ich Freu' Mich, Wenn Die Sonne Lacht) - Petula Clark

It's Foolish but It's Fun (Ich Freu' Mich, Wenn Die Sonne Lacht)

Yes possibly, I’m wrong.
Quite probably, I’m wrong, BUT even if I’m wrong…
I love to climb an apple tree
Though apples green are bad for me
And I’ll be sick as I can be
It’s foolish but it’s fun
When thunder storms put folks to rout
And no one dares to venture out
That’s when I love to slosh about
It’s foolish but it’s fun
If it should ever come to pass
That I inherit wealth
I’ll eat and drink and drink and eat
Until I wreck my health
I’ll never see the morning light
I’ll sleep all day and dance all night
and though I know it isn’t right
It’s foolish but It’s fun
Lots of cranky folks, object to jokes
and want to prove to you
that it’s not worthwhile to sing or smile
if you want to be good and true.
They may of course, be right.
Or nearly, if not quite.
But even if they’re right…
I love to climb an apple tree
Though apples green are bad for me
It’s foolish but It’s fun
When thunder storms put folks to rout
And no one dares to venture out
It’s foolish but it’s fun
If it should ever come to pass
that I inherit wealth
I’m onna' eat, drink, laugh and be married.
OoOoh past the aspirin
I’ll never see the morning light
I’ll sleep all day and dance all night
though I know it isn’t right
It’s foolish but It’s fun
It’s foolish but It’s fun
OoOoh my poor feet
It’s foolish
