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 fool

Met a girl on the avenue
She was shy and I was blue
Like a teacher and a student at 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 fool
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 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
