FOOLS PARADISE ©2011                   Marshall Brodeur ascap

Wash your hair and paint your face.
I’m gonna take you to a real nice place
Where the crowd is hot as ice
It’s my fool’s paradise

It’s a parallel time and space
That smells like scotch and bouillabaisse
Lay it down and throw the dice
In my fool’s paradise

Climb in baby the waters fine
My temporary concubine
I sure hope you didn’t mind
That you had to wait in line

You’re my prey, my way
Think of it as fore-play
Take the corner sideways
Floor it on the straight-aways
Overpriced merchandise
Never have to sacrifice
In my fool’s paradise

Take a chance and tempt your fate
Cut in line and fill your plate
Take the meat and leave the rice
In my fool’s paradise

Take the floor and dance till dawn
Don’t you dare leave nothing on
Oh baby you sure look nice
In my fool’s paradise

Turn on the light and get on the bed
Yes I know what I just said
In terms of gorgeous, your drop dead
Show me how you fly with both wings spread

You’re my prey, my way
Think of it as fore-play
Take the corner sideways
Floor it on the straight-aways
Overpriced merchandise
never have to sacrifice
In my fool’s paradise (Repeat)

At the moment you entice
But a moment won’t suffice
You taste of Jasmine, smoke and spice
But Baby let me be concise
