Is it happening ?
Is everybody ok ?
Wanna fool around ?
It's so easy, but I can't do it
So risky - but I gotta chance it
So funny, there's nothing to laugh about
My money, that's all you wanna talk about
I can see what you want me to be
I'm no fool
It's in the lap of the Gods - sing it
Wo wo la la la wo
Wo wo la la woh woh wooh
I'm no fool
Woh woh la la wo wo ooh
Wo wo la la la wo
Wo wo la la
Woh wo woo
Woh woh la la la wo
Wo wo la la woh woh wooh
I'm no fool
