How Long Can a Fool Go Wrong

How long can a bell ring?
 Just as long as it knows its tone
 Just as long as it knows its tone
 I'm here to tell you that's how long
 That a fool can go wrong
 How long can a bird sing?
 Just as long as it knows its song
 (spoken): You gotta know your song
 How long can a bird sing?
 Just as long as it knows its song
 See I'm here to tell you that's how long
 That a fool can go wrong
 I learned my lessons from people
 You know in all walks of life
 You know in all walks of life
 I know if a person mistreats you once they're
 Bound to misuse you twice
 (That's why I said) how long can a bell ring?
 Just as long as it knows its song
 Just as long as it knows its song
 I'm here to tell you that's how long
