Well, the blues went to town on the back of a mule
He looked around and went to school.
Well, it didn't take long and he turned back around
Said Lord, please save me from an educated clown.
Educated fool, educated fool,
Educated fool, educated fool.
So the blues left the country in a Cadillac,
Said I'm leavin' this town and I won't be back.
All this readin' and writin' and arithmatic
And all this learnin' 'bout to make me sick.
Educated fool, educated fool,
Educated fool, educated fool.
