The School of the Fool

There was a young man
I don't remember his name
All I remember is he thought that life was a game
He only followed his own opinions
He loved to break every rule
He was a first class, A+ student
In the school of a fool!

He was his best friend, he was his worst enemy
And there was nothin' that he took seriously
He mocked his teachers, he laughed at learnin'
He thought that lyin' was cool!
He was a first class, A+ student, in the school of a fool!
He was a fool - he was not wise - he played the fool - he paid the price

He had a temper and he would let it explode
If he was angry, you can be sure that it showed
Whenever anyone tried to help him,
He always treated them cruelly
He was a first class, A+ student, in the school of a fool!
He was a fool - he was not wise - he played the fool - he paid the price

So pay attention, and learn a lesson, my friend!
This foolish young man came to a terrible end
You see it's wise guys who are rewarded, so just remember this rule:
Don't be a first class, A+ student, in the school of a fool!
He was a fool - he was not wise - he played the fool - he payed the price
Don't be a fool - be wise! Be wise!
You play the fool - you'll pay the price
Don't be a fool - be wise! Be wise!
You play the fool - you'll pay the price…
