Fool's Holiday

Let's go play on a fool's holiday
spending all the money we never saved
Live for now cause tomorrows far away
having a blast on a fool's holiday

Champagne breakfast in a five star hotel
rolling the dice for casino thrills
Cruising the Seine on a Paris eve
caviar and Kobe beef we feast

Tropical beaches to get us a tan
jet set life style without a plan
Burn those credit cards charge charge Charge!
fool's holiday living ever so large

And when those bills catch us coming overdo
what can they take when we got little and few
Bankruptcy court and seven years no credit line
but damn did we have one hell of a time

Let's go play on a fool's holiday
spending all the money we never did save
Live for now cause tomorrows far away
having a blast, too bad it can't last, fool's holiday.
