Текст UB40 – Poor Fool

Poor Fool
Poor Fool
Poor Fool
Poor Fool

He’s worked for minimum wage
Even survived the dole
But he doesn’t owe a penny
To a living soul
Poor Fool

He doesn’t drive a big car
Or wear designer clothes
He tries hard to save a little
But a little soon goes
Poor Fool

Any millionaire would tell him
He should forget his foolish pride
And take the whole world for a ride
But he’s a fool (Poor fool)
He’s a fool (Poor fool)

He’d never steal from you
He wouldn’t tell you a lie
Even people that don’t like him
Say he’s straight as a die
Poor fool

He always pays all his bills
His tax is PAYE

And the bankers they would tell him
He should forget his foolish pride
And take the whole world for a ride
But he’s a fool (Poor fool)
He’s a fool (Poor fool)

Poor Fool

Never a borrower be
He learned that way back in school
But now you can’t get educated
If you don’t break that rule
Poor Fool

He did his best for his boys
But they’re so different to him
They already owe a fortune
And they’re not yet men
Poor fool

And Mistra know it all would tell him
He should forget his foolish pride
And take the whole world for a ride
But he’s a fool (Poor fool)
He’s a fool (Poor fool)

Poor Fool
Any millionaire would tell him
He’s a fool (Poor fool)
And the bankers they would tell him
He’s a fool (Poor fool)
And Mistra know it all would tell him
He’s a fool (Poor fool)

He’s a fool
He’s a fool
He’s a fool (Poor fool)

He’s a fool
He’s a fool
He’s a fool (Poor fool)

He’s a fool
He’s a fool
He’s a fool (Poor fool)

He’s a fool
He’s a fool
He’s a fool (Poor fool)

He’s a fool
