Lyrics

One Can Always Find Work As A Fool
Lyrics and Music by Woody Russell / ©℗ 2004, Woody Russell, Cats Up The Street Music, ASCAP

She stole the words right out of my mouth
“Better luck next time, goodbye”
I wasn’t cut out for the job so she
Let me go, it was cut and dry

So here I stand with the other down-n-outs
In the Ex-Lover’s soup kitchen line
My pink slip right here in my pocket
Next to this unemployed heart of mine

It’s one of love’s unspoken, golden rules
That romance employs more than a few- oh, yes, and
One can always find work as a fool
As a fool

She likes a fit-to-work man in his prime
And nose to grindstone love affairs
With lousy benefits, endless overtime
The turnover rate’s too embarrassing to share

It’s one of love’s unspoken, golden rules
That romance employs more than a few- oh, yes, and
One can always find work as a fool
As a fool

Deadlines, bottom-lines in the red
Poorly managed from the start
Overqualified, underpaid
That’s the story of my heart
That’s the story of my heart

It’s one of love’s unspoken, golden rules
That romance employs more than a few

It’s one of love’s unspoken, golden rules
That romance employs more than a few- oh, yes, and
One can always find work as a fool
As a fool
As a fool
