Can't Fool The Blues - Bbm

You can fool the landlord sp you don’t pay the rent

You can fool the world and become the president

You can fool all the people some the time

You can make a million dollars and cry"I don’t have a lousy dime"

But you can’t fool the blues

You can’t fool the blues

When you’re makin’all the rules it’s so hard to lose

You can’t fool the blues, oh no.

You can fool the Romans into lending you an ear

Write a story in the papers believing every smear

You can fool the rich by driving around in a wreck

You can get up someone’s nose every time you bounce a cheque

But you can’t fool the blues

No you can’t fool the blues

You can’t fool the blues it just laughs at each lie

Can’t fool the blues, oh no.

You can fool your brother into lending you his car

Rub up the waitress for some coctails at the bar

You can talk some bimbo into taking you home

You can fool the wife into thinking you’re alone

But you can’t fool the blues

You can’t fool the blues

That blues chews you up and spits you right out

You can’t fool the blues, oh no.
