Verse:
I have been a rambler, I have been a gambler
I have tried too hard to be too cool.
The rotten beer I've tasted, and all the bread I've wasted
Has turned me into one big April fool.

Bridge:
I've taken chances - had romances
I've broken all the rules
To learn a lesson would be a blessin'
For this big April fool.

Verse:
Broken hearted loser; saturated boozer
I've had times when I thought life was cruel.
This song is my reaction and I get satisfaction
To sing about this one big April fool.

Repeat Bridge:

Verse:
Maybe I should mention, it came to my attention
That broken hearts won't drown in nasty beer.
Don't try to drown your sorrow, just wait until tomorrow
Cause the first of April comes just once a year.
