[Verse 1]
A D
Well now you've all been asked foolish questions and I think that you all know
A E
That you're bound to run into them most, most anywhere you go
A D
And you all know the story of the man you meet on the way
A E
You say to him, hey how's Trix and you'll listen to him while he say
A D
Say he's just been to the funeral of poor old uncle Ned
A N.C.
And the next question he's gonna ask is, is Ned dead?
[Chorus]
A D
Foolish questions, you might as well reply
D A E
No Ned thought he'd have a funeral and later on some time he die
A E
You know he is so original that he wanted it that way
A E
Foolish questions, you'll hear them every day
[Verse 2]
A D
Then there's the woman that always gives your phone a ring
A E
She'll talk for two hours about anything
A E
Especially her bad kin folk goin ruining everything
A D A
You sit there half asleep, brewing, stewing, she says finally
N.C.
Hey, whatcha doin?
[Chorus]
A D
Foolish questions, you oughta tell her that you're gone
D A E
Just about an hour ago I thought I heard the phone
A D
It couldn't have been you though cause I've been asleep
A
Why don't you call me sometime
E A E
Silly questions get a silly answer every time
[Verse 3]
A D
Then you just get outta the hospital after about a three month stay
A E
Had every bone in you broken, and you're tryin to make your way
A D
An old friend steps right up to you and says, hey how's Trix?
A N.C.
You've been in the hospital three long months and he says, hey, you been sick?
[Chorus]
A D
Foolish question, nah I like my meals in bed
D A E
Cost ain't a lot and I'm curing up purity good now
A D
Why don't you go break your leg, that attraction there is fine
A E
Foolish questions get a silly answer every time
[Verse 4]
A D
Well you step into an elevator and you open up the door
A E
You walk right into the shaft and fall down forty floors
A D
And when you hit the bottom and you're laying there in the dirt
A N.C.
The first person that's gonna come along gonna say, you hurt?
[Chorus]
A D
Foolish questions, your dying words are no
D A E
I was kinda in a hurry and well the elevator's too slow
A E
I find a save a lot of time, comin down that way
A E
Foolish questions, yeah you'll hear them everyday
[Outro]
E
