Poor Fool

Poor Fool
Poor Fool
Poor Fool
Poor Fool
He’s worked for minimum wage
Even survived the dole
But he doesn’t owe a penny
To a living soul
Poor Fool
He doesn’t drive a big car
Or wear designer clothes
He tries hard to save a little
But a little soon goes
Poor Fool
Any millionaire would tell him
He should forget his foolish pride
And take the whole world for a ride
But he’s a fool (Poor fool)
He’s a fool (Poor fool)
Poor Fool
Poor Fool
Poor Fool
Poor Fool
He’d never steal from you
He wouldn’t tell you a lie
Even people that don’t like him
Say he’s straight as a die
Poor fool
He always pays all his bills
His tax is PAYE
There’s no plastic in his pocket
Only paper money
Poor fool
And the bankers they would tell him
He should forget his foolish pride
And take the whole world for a ride
But he’s a fool (Poor fool)
He’s a fool (Poor fool)
Poor Fool
Poor Fool
Poor Fool
Poor Fool
Never a borrower be
He learned that way back in school
But now you can’t get educated
If you don’t break that rule
Poor Fool
He did his best for his boys
But they’re so different to him
They already owe a fortune
And they’re not yet men
Poor fool
And Mistra know it all would tell him
He should forget his foolish pride
And take the whole world for a ride
But he’s a fool (Poor fool)
He’s a fool (Poor fool)
Poor Fool
Any millionaire would tell him
He’s a fool (Poor fool)
And the bankers they would tell him
He’s a fool (Poor fool)
And Mistra know it all would tell him
He’s a fool (Poor fool)
He’s a fool
He’s a fool
He’s a fool (Poor fool)
He’s a fool
He’s a fool
He’s a fool (Poor fool)
He’s a fool
He’s a fool
He’s a fool (Poor fool)
He’s a fool
He’s a fool
He’s a fool (Poor fool)
He’s a fool
He’s a fool
