The Foolish Ways
by Hunzi ([email protected])

I am a Fool
A Fool I am

Those Motley Fools!
Those Motley Fools!
I do not like
those Motley Fools!

Do you like the Foolish Ways?

I do not like them, Tom-n-Dave.
I do not like the Foolish Ways.

Would you like them here or there?

I would not like them here or there.
I would not like them anywhere.
I do not like the Foolish Ways.
I do not like them, Tom-n-Dave.

Would you listen to Dave in the House?
Would you click them with a mouse?

I do not like Dave in the House.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere.
I do not like the Foolish Ways.
I do not like them, Tom-n-Dave.

Would you like to get out of debt?
Would you do the 13 steps?

Not out of debt.
Not 13 steps.
Not in the House.
Not with a mouse.
I would not read them here or there.
I would not like them anywhere.
I would not follow the Foolish Ways.
I do not like them, Tom-n-Dave.

Would you? Could you?
In a car?
Listen!Listen!
Here they are.

I would not, could not, in a car.

You may like them.
You will see.
You may like them on a TV!

I would not, could not on TV.
Not in a car! You let me be.
I do not like to be out of debt.
I do not like their 13 steps.
I do not like Dave in the House.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere.
I do not like the Foolish Ways.
I do not like them, Tom-n-Dave.

The Net! The Net!
The Net! The Net!
Could you, would you, on the Net?

Not on the Net! Not on TV!
Not in a car! Fool! Let me be!
I would not, could not, get out of debt.
I could not, would not, do 13 steps.
I will not click them with a mouse.
I will not listen to Dave in the House.
I will not read them here or there.
I will not like them anywhere.
I do not follow the Foolish Ways.
I do not like them, Tom-n-Dave.

Say!
With a Discount Broker? Here with a Discount Broker!
Would you, could you, a Discount Broker?

I would not, could not, a Discount Broker.

Would you, could you, on the PC?

I would not, could not, on the PC.
Not a Discount Broker. Not with the Net.
Not in a car. Not on TV.
I do not like them, Fool, you see.
Not in the House. Not out of debt.
Not with a mouse. Not 13 steps.
I will not read them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere!

You do not like the Foolish Ways?

I do not like them, Tom-n-Dave.

Could you, would you, Live Below Your Means?

I would not, could not, Live Below My Means!

Would you, could you, with some Cheeze?

I could not, would not, with some Cheeze.
I will not, will not, Live Below Means.
I will not surf them on the Net.
I will not click them on PC..
Not with a Discount Broker! Not on TV!
Not in a car! You let me be!
I do not like to be out of debt.
I do not like their 13 steps.
I will not listen to Dave in the House.
I do not click them with a mouse.
I do not read them here or there.
I do not like them ANYWHERE!
I do not like the Foolish Ways!
I do not like them, Tom-n-Dave.

You do not like them.
So you say.
Try them! Try them!
And you may.
Try them and you may, I say.

Fool!
If you will let me be, I will try them.

You will see.

Say!
I like the Foolish Ways!
I do! I like them, Tom-n-Dave!
And I would read with the Cheeze.
And I would live below my means...
And I will surf them on the Net.
And with Discount Brokers. And on PC.
And in a car. And on TV.
They are so good, so good, you see!
So I will get myself out of debt.
And I will do the 13 steps.
And I will listen to Dave in the House.
And I will click them with a mouse.
And I will read them here and there.
Say! I will like them ANYWHERE!

I do so like
the Foolish Ways!
Thank you!
Thank you,
Tom-n-Dave!
