Fool on the Roof

Now don’t let the moon catch a fool on your roof

That is some aggravation I’m gonna tell you the truth

He’ll rattle your dishes and he’ll run off your dogs

And he’ll be dancin’ till dawn in the light of it all

Fool on the roof, he’s just foolin’ with you

Laughin’ it off is ‘bout the best you can do

Fool on the roof, he will not take no checks

You’ve got to pay by the dance and that’s a natural fact

Fool on the roof, he will not cut you no slack

He make you, mama, make you go ‘round back

He’s hidin’ behind that big ol’ chinaberry tree

I know he’s there ‘cause he’s chunkin’ ‘em at me

Fool on the roof, he’s just foolin’ with you

Laughin’ it off is ‘bout the best you can do

Fool on the roof, he will not take no checks

You’ve got to pay by the dance and that’s a natural fact

Don’t mind me, baby, I got a fool on my roof

How many times have you used that excuse

Might be something you said or maybe somewhere you’ve been

With someone you shouldn’t and never will again

Fool on the roof, he’s just foolin’ with you

Laughin’ it off is ‘bout the best you can do

Fool on the roof, he will not take no checks

You’ve got to pay by the dance and that’s a natural fact

You better look out below there’s a fool on your roof

That is some aggravation I’m gonna tell you the truth

He’ll rattle your dishes and he’ll run off your dog

And he’ll be dancin’ till dawn in the light of it all
