"Fool, fool, fool" by Ray Brown and the Whispers (Sydney 1964-66)

Fool, fool, fool
First I bought my love a mocking bird
The sweetest voice that I have ever heard
But she said that mocking bird won't sing
If you love me, go buy a diamond ring
So I bought my love a diamond ring
The brightest ring that anyone could bring
But she said that diamond ring won't shine
If you love me, go buy a car this time
Fool, fool, fool
Everybody cried
Fool, fool, fool
Though it hurt my pride
Fool, fool, fool
It can't be so
I couldn't refuse her, I didn't want to lose her
So I bought my love a brand new car
Took my last dime out of the savings jar
But she said this little car won't run
If you love me, go get another one
Fool, fool, fool
Everybody cried
Fool, fool, fool
How it hurt my pride
Fool, fool, fool
It can't be so
I couldn't refuse her, I didn't want to lose her
I tried to steal and here I am in jail
I've got no money left to pay my bail
And every night before the lights go out
The prisoners all begin to sing and shout
Fool, fool, fool
Everybody cried
Fool, fool, fool
How it hurt my pride
Fool, fool, fool
It can't be so
I couldn't refuse her, I didn't want to lose her
Fool, fool, fool
Everybody cried
Fool, fool, fool
How it hurt my pride
Fool, fool, fool
It can't be so
I couldn't refuse her, I didn't want to lose her
