Lyrics

Fool for the Pool Words & Music by
Brian Slawson & Bob Bass

I'm a fool for the pool and I just got out o' school
Can't wait to splish splash in the water
I've been searchin' high and low for some cool H2O
Cause the temperature you know is gettin' hotter

I'm a fool for the pool and it can't be overruled
Gettin' wet as I can get 'cause I'm toastin'
Cravin' waves jumpin' in cause I'm learnin' how to swim
It's a wet and wild water locomotion

Cause when I'm burnin' burnin' from the heat
Then I'm yearnin' to be kickin' with my feet
I'll be strokin' strokin' to the beat
I might go insane if the water's down the drain

I'm a fool for the pool and I just got out o' school
Can't wait to splish splash in the water
I've been searchin' high and low for some cool H2O
Cause the temperature you know is gettin' hotter

I ain't bein' insincere it's the perfect time of year
Gonna make it crystal clear I got the notion
Belly floppin' like a seal that's the way I like to feel
That's the reason why I'm packing suntan lotion

Cause when I'm burnin' (burnin') burnin' from the heat
Then I'm yearnin' to be kickin' with my feet
I'll be strokin' (strokin') strokin' to the beat
I'm a flip floppin' fish yeah I finally got my wish

I'm a fool for the pool I can't be overruled
Gettin' wet as I can get 'cause I'm toastin'
Cravin' waves jumpin' in cause I'm learnin' how to swim
It's a wet and wild water locomotion

Splashin' up splashin' down submarinin' all around
Got my legs kickin' causin' a commotion
Keep my grades up in school so I can get in to the pool
Later on I'll graduate into the ocean

Cause when I'm burnin' (burnin') burnin' from the heat
Then I'm yearnin' to be kickin' with my feet
I'll be strokin' (strokin') strokin' to the beat
I got to clarify I don't want a towel dry

I'm a fool for the pool it can't be overruled
Can't wait to splish splash in the water
I've been searchin' high and low for some cool H2O
Cause the temperature you know is gettin' hotter

Splashin' up splashin' down submarinin' all around
I'll be makin' waves and causin' a commotion
Keep my grades up in school so I can get in to the pool
Later on I'll graduate into the ocean
Yeah later on I'll graduate into the ocean
