Intro 1
(G major)
Verse 1
Now you've all (G major) heard
foolish questions and (C major)
No doubt (D major) you've wondered why
Some person will ask a foolish ques (G major) tion
And (C major) expect a sensible reply (D major)
Like when you take your girl some candy
(G major) Say maybe just after tea
You notice how she'll grab (C major) it
And then she'll say,
(D major) (G major) "Is this for me?"

Verse 2
Foolish Questions! (G major) You can answer
When you (D major) can
"No I bought this candy for your Ma or Pa
Or for John the hired (G major) hand
"I just thought you'd like to see it
Now I'm gonna take it away"
Now wasn't (C major) that a foolish ques (D major) tion?
You'll hear 'em ev'ry day
(G major)
Verse 3
And then most every morning (C major)
There is someone (D major) 'round the place
Who sees you take the shaving brush
And lather up your face
(G major) And as you give the razor
a preliminary wave
This fool (C major) will walk up and ask (D major) you
"Are you gonna take a shave?" (G major) (D major)
Foolish questions! (G major) Your answer (D major) is, I hope
"No! I ain't prepared for shavin'
I (G major) just like the taste of soap!
I kinda like to take the shaving (C major)
Brush and paint myself this way"
Now wasn't that (D major) a foolish question?
You'll hear 'em ev'ry day!
Verse 4
Now (D major) (G major) then there's this fella who (C major)
Meets (D major) you on (G major) your way
And asks you why your all dressed
Up and listens (C major) while you say
That you just been returning from the
(D major) Fu neral of poor old Uncle Ned
As soon as you have told him,
he will say
"Is Ned dead?"
Verse 5
Foolish ques (G major) tions! You
might as well reply
"No, he thought (D major) he'd have the funeral
Now then later on he'd die
You (G major) know Ned was always
so original
He wanted it that (C major) way"
Now wasn't that a Foolish (D major) Question?
You'll hear 'em ev'ry day!
(G major)
Verse 6
(G major) Now suppose the elevator guy should (C major)
Forget to close the door (D major)
And you should tumble down (G major)
Oh say forty-seven floors
floors
And when you reach the bottom
And you're ly (C major) ing there inert
Some fool (D major) will stick his head
Down the shaft and holler,
"Are you (C major) hurt?" (D major) (G major)
Verse 7
Foolish Questions! (G major) Your dying words are
"No! (D major) I was in an awful hurry
And that elevator's just too slow (G major)
Usually saves a lot of time, you know
Comin' (C major) down this way"
Now wasn't that a Foolish Ques (D major) tion?
You'll hear 'em ev'ry day!
Verse 8
That (D major) was a Foolish (G major) Question!
You'll
Hear 'em ev'ry day!
