Way back yonder in the days of old,
The men was working butnot saving any dough
Then came a woman looking real cool
She said toherself, "Now that's my fool"

I'm gonna ball tonight
I'm gonna ball tonight
Well, Ican'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,
Likea teacher and a student in school,
Looked at me and said, "You're myfool"

Chorus

Repeat First Verse

Chorus

We're gonna ball tonight
We're gonna ball tonight
We'regonna ball tonight
We're gonna ball tonight
Well I can't break the rulebecause
Every man is some woman's fool
