Way back yonder in the days of old
The men was workin? but not savin? any dough
Then came a woman lookin? real cool
She said to herself, "Now, that? s my fool"I? m gonna ball tonight
I? m gonna ball tonight
Well, you can? t break the rule
Because every man is some woman? s foolMet a girl on the avenue
She was shy and I was blue
Like a teacher and a student in the school
Looked at me and said, "You? re my fool"
Gonna ball tonight
We? re gonna ball tonight
Man I can? t break a rule
'Cause every man is some woman? s foolWay back yonder in the days of old
The men was workin? but not savin? any dough
Then came a woman lookin? real cool
She said to herself, "Now, that? s my fool"I? m gonna ball tonight
I? m gonna ball tonight
Well, you can? t break the rule
Because every man is some woman? s fool
I? m gonna ball tonight
We? re gonna ball tonight
We? re gonna ball tonight
We? re gonna ball tonight
Well, I can? t break the rule
Because every man is some woman? s fool
