Daddy Plays the Horn - Dexter Gordon

Everybody plays the fool sometime There's no exception to the rule Listen, baby, it may be factual, may be cruel I ain't lying, everybody plays the fool Falling in love is such an easy thing to do And there's no guarantee that the one you love is gonna love you Oh, lovin' eyes they cannot see a certain person could never be Love runs deeper than any ocean You can cloud your mind with emotion Everybody plays the fool, sometime They use your heart like a tool Listen, baby, they never tell you so in school But everybody plays the fool How can you help it when the music starts to play And your ability to reason is swept away Oh, heaven on earth is all you see You're out of touch with reality Now you cry but when you're through The next time someone cries for you

With his little mandolino And a twinkle in his eye Senorinas he can win Always for another guy Italians love to sip a cup of cappuccino And listen to the man who plays the mandolino You offer him a cigarette a glass of wine That's how he's paid to serenade your lady fair With his little mandolino And a twinkle in his eye Senorinas he can win Always for another guy He seems like such a happy man The man who plays the mandolino He sings a song of sweet romance for all the lovers as they dance But all he's holding in his arms is just a little mandolino He has no woman of his own so every night he walks alone With his little mandolino And a twinkle in his eye Senorinas he can win Always for another guy (And while he's strumming songs of love the man who plays the mandolino) (His eyes are always looking for a senorina to adore) He drinks a toast to his true love each time he lifts a glass of vino And so until that lucky day he looks for her along the way With his little mandolino And a twinkle in his eye Senorinas he can win Always for another guy (Both) The man who plays the mandolino
