Got a brand new baby
Or maybe she got me
Mine’s the strong hot coffee
She like lemon tea
Love to watch her walk
In morning robe and mules
One more link
In the chain of fools
One more link
In the chain of fools
Hey! Hey!
She’s a gold haired beauty
Gal I love to hold
Whispered nuthins’, oddly
Leave her icy cold
Stoke the fire I’m thinkin’
Our love must need renewal
One more link
In the chain of fools
One more link
In the chain of fools
Hey! Hey!
Took her to the pawn shop
To view a ruby group
Man behind the counter
Eyed me through his loupe
Shelled out heaps o’ do-re-
Lavished her with jewels
One more link
In the chain of fools
One more link
In the chain of fools
Hey! Hey!
Two fools got the money
Three got handsome looks
Lefty, single-handed, he
Wrote and sold four books
Baseball man just joined us
Blessed with all five tools
One more link
In the chain of fools
One more link
In the chain of fools
Hey! Hey!
Jilted gather mornings
Breakfasts sit untouched
Circled round the memory of
That gal we need so much
Elvis on the jukebox
Singin’ Don’t Be Cruel
One more link
In the chain of fools
One more link
In the chain of fools
Hey! Hey!
Ho! Ho!
Hey! Hey!
