Did I Fool Ya?

(album: Live At Java Joe's - 2001)

When daddy sings
Hes an auctioneer, auctioneer
And mother clings to anniversaries
And his sister, she's got a little bit of mister in her
And her brothers goin round, round, round his bed

And I said, and I say
I say, well believe what I say
I said, did I, did I, fool ya, fool ya
Well didn't daddy fool ya?

He sang once and a goin twice
Hes gone for 35 or 40
And he go, once and a goin twice
Hes gone for 35... Sold to the middle line
They go once and a goin twice
And ain't it nice?
And oh lord they made it up to 65
They go once and a goin twice
And ain't it nice? Ain't it nice oh ain't it nice?

... Said ain't it nice for the price?
I said I got a nice life for the price is right
Body rock, rody bock
And they boss, said a come on down, down, down
Said come on down
You're the next big winner
So come on down
Oh oh oh

But I, but I, I said I
I give and give and I lay it all down now
Well look what I've found
I give and give
I said I give and give and I lay it all down
Now look what I've found, ah look what I've found

Blue skies, they're smiling at me
And that's my favorite melody

But I can't read and I can't read and
I can't read between the things unseen
And I don't mind and I don't mind and I don't mind
If I don't find because I've tried

I'm absolutely definite
Absolutely positive
Absolutely definitely positive
I'm absolutely definite
Absolutely positive
Absolutely definitely positive
I'm absolutely definite
Absolutely positive
Absolutely definitely positive
And I'm absolutely definite
Absolutely positive
Absolutely definitely positively represented

So I, why why, oh-ma why the bother with it all?
Did I, did I fool ya?
Well didn't Daddy fool ya

He sang once and a goin twice
Hes gone for 35 or 40
And he go, once and a goin twice
Hes gone for 45 or 50
They go once and a goin twice
He gone to 55, oh maybe gonna make it up to 65
They go once and a goin twice
And ain't it, ain't it nice? Ain't it nice price-wise?
I said I got a nice life for the price
Oh lord, little boy, little boy
