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 arithmetic
And all this learnin' 'bout to make me sick
Educated fool, educated fool
Educated fool, educated fool
Wеll, the blues went up thе river on the back of a fish
Said if I could I'd have one wish
Don't want no silver, diamonds and jewels
Said Lord, please me from an educated fool
Educated fool, educated fool
Educated fool, educated fool
Well, the blues jumped a rabbit and run him a mile
The rabbit sat down and he cried like a child
The blues said son you got to learn one rule
Don't place no trust in a educated fool
Educated fool, educated fool
Educated fool, educated fool
