Days of Old

Way back yonder in the days of old,

The men was working but not saving any dough.

Then came a woman looking real cool.

She said to herself, "Now that's my fool."

R: I'm gonna ball tonight.

I'm gonna ball tonight.

Well, I can't break the rule because

Every man is some woman's fool.

Met a girl on the avenue,

She was shy and I was blue,

Like a teacher and a student in school,

Looked at me and said, "You're my fool."

R: I'm gonna ball tonight...

Way back yonder in the days of old,

The men was working but not saving any dough.

Then came a woman looking real cool.

She said to herself, "Now that's my fool."

R: I'm gonna ball tonight...

We're gonna ball tonight.

We're gonna ball tonight.

We're gonna ball tonight.

We're gonna ball tonight.

Well I can't break the rule because

Every man is some woman's fool.
