lyrics

Clinking glasses echoed off the bricks
While the drinking masses were transfixed
By the sound of Sweany’s boots on the stompbox

I watched your body swivel and sway
As if a waltz was being played
Refusing to conform to common time

I was enchanted by your offbeat style
It was the lightest I had felt in a while

April Fool
April Fool

It was time for me to break out of the box
Find some kindred spirits who were unorthodox
Were we in the cards or was it just happy chance

You drew me in with your irreverence
Had me in stitches with delicious nonsense
Answered me with questions every time

I was enchanted by your jester’s smile
I asked if I could stay a while

April Fool
April Fool

Now I’m waltzing to your offbeat tunes
Swiveling and swaying arm in arm with you

April Fool
April Fool
