Way back yonder in the days of old 
The men was workin' but not savin' any dough 
Then came a woman lookin' real cool 
She said to herself "Now, that's my fool" 
I'm gonna ball tonight 
I'm gonna ball tonight 
Well you can't break the rule because every man is some woman's fool 
Met a girl on the avenue 
She was shy and I was blue 
Like a teacher and a student in the school 
Looked at me and said "You're my fool" 
Gonna ball tonight 
We're gonna ball tonight 
Man I can't break a rule cause every man is some woman's fool 
Way back yonder in the days of old 
The men was workin' but not savin' any dough 
Then came a woman lookin' real cool 
She said to herself "Now, that's my fool" 
I'm gonna ball tonight 
I'm gonna ball tonight 
Well you can't break the rule because every man is some woman's fool 
I'm gonna ball tonight 
We're gonna ball tonight 
We're gonna ball tonight 
We're gonna ball tonight 
Well I can't break the rule because every man is some woman's fool
