Fool On The Roof
By Guy Clark
Written by Guy Clark
Album: Guy Clark (1978
Capo 2
A
Now don’t let the moon catch a fool on your roof
A
That is some aggravation, I’m gonna tell you the truth
A
He’ll rattle your dishes and he’ll run off your dogs
A
And he’ll be dancin’ till dawn in the light of it all
Chorus:
D
Fool on the roof, he’s just foolin’ with you
D
Laughin’ it off is ‘bout the best you can do
D
Fool on the roof, he will not take no checks
D
You’ve got to pay by the dance and that’s a natural fact
Fool on the roof, he will not cut you no slack
He make your mom, make you go ‘round back
He’s hidin’ behind that big ol’ chinaberry tree
I know he’s there ‘cause he’s chunkin’ ‘em at me
Chorus
Don’t mind me, baby, I got a fool on my roof
How many times have you used that excuse
Might be something you said or maybe somewhere you’ve been
With someone you shouldn’t and never will again
Chorus
You better look out below there’s a fool on your roof
That is some aggravation I’m gonna tell you the truth
He’ll rattle your dishes and he’ll run off your dog
And he’ll be dancin’ till dawn in the light of it all
