(From the 1978 Album SON OF A SON OF A SAILOR)
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
I woke up in a strange room I'd never seen before
A
Weird paintings on the walls, mirrors on the ceilings
A
I bolted for the door
D
Lookin' for my rent-a-car, was the Cordoba blue or red?
A
Tryin' to remember where I put the keys
A
Tryin' to remember what I said
[Chorus 1]
D
I pushed the fool button
A
My night went haywire
D
I pushed the fool button
E
Set my brain on fire
[Verse 2]
A
I was sittin' in the corner of a very laid-back bar
A
A little three-piece band playin' on the stand
A
Not knowin' what lay in store
D
In a flash, a man with a hat and a harmonica stormed the stage
A
The crowd went berserk, the band said, "What a jerk"
A
As he went into a blues rampage
[Chorus 2]
D
It was a fool palace
A
Double-knit on parade
D
They pushed the fool button
E
As the skinny boy played and played
[Interlude]
A
Push it, push it, push it
[Bridge]
A
Try to make a point of protectin' the innocent
A
But none of them can be found
A
It can happen any time, happen any place
A
It can happen in your own home town
D
If you don't believe my words
D
Or think my story's true
A
Get a bottle of rum and a Eskatrol
A
And watch the same thing happen to you
[Chorus 3]
D
We'll push the fool button
A
I'll meet you in the bar
D
We'll push the fool button
E A
Where everyone's a star
[Outro]
A
Jimmy pushed the fool button
A
He pushed it like a fool, Bubba
A
Pushin' like a fool
A
Pushed the button like a fool
A
Pushed the fool button
A
Pushed it like a fool
A
Pushed the button like a fool
