As I was a-walking, one fine day
There I met a man, who unto me did say,
"Won't you go with me and walk along my way?"
I said I'd come . . .

(chorus)
Foolish, incredibly foolish
Foolish, incredibly foolish
Foolish, incredibly foolish,
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.

So we walked along together for a while
I gave to him a glance, he gave to me a smile
I had visions of us walking down the aisle
To organ and drum . . .

Then he asked me if I'd stay with him that night.
Modestly, I said that it would not be right.
He didn't ask again, he simply got me tight
Grapefruit juice and rum . . .

I awoke next morning, hammers in my head
Found my gallant lover gallantly had fled.
Didn't care, too busy wishing I were dead,
Feeling so glum . . .

I've decided that next time I meet a boy
I will not say no, new tactics I'll employ.
Think I'll stay awake, and maybe I'll enjoy
All the foolish fun . . .

(chorus)
Foolish, incredibly foolish
Foolish, incredibly foolish
Foolish, incredibly foolish,
Fun, fun, fun, fun!
