Guy Clark - Fool on the Roof [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Now don’t let the moon catch a fool on your roof
That is some aggravation I'm going to tell you the truth
He’ll rattle your dishes and he’ll run off your dogs
And he’ll be dancing till dawn in the light of it all

[Chorus]
Fool on the roof, he’s just fooling with you
Laughing it off is ‘bout the best you can do
Fool on the roof, he will not take no checks
You have got to pay by the dance and that’s a natural fact

[Verse 2]
Fool on the roof, he will not cut you no slack
He make you, mama, make you go around back
He’s hiding behind that big old china berry tree
I know he’s there ‘cause he’s chunking ‘em at me

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Don’t mind me, baby, I got a fool on my roof
How many times have you used that excuse
Might be something you said or maybe somewhere you've been
With someone you shouldn't and never will again

[Chorus]

[Outro]
You better look out below there’s a fool on your roof
That is some aggravation I'm going to tell you the truth
He’ll rattle your dishes and he’ll run off your dog
And he’ll be dancin’ till dawn in the light of it all
