Nat King Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was a musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. more »

So these are the ropes

The tricks of the trade

The rules of the road

You're one of the dopes

For whom they were made

The rules of the road

You follow that kiss

And recklessly miss

A bend of the road

Then suddenly this

The end of the road

So love is a hoax

A glittering stream

Of little white lies

But these are the jokes

And what if they bring

The tears to your eyes?

Well, love often shows

A funny return

The brighter it glows

The longer you burn

And Lord only knows

Love has little concern

For the fools of the road

But that's how it goes

You live and you learn

The rules of the road

But that's how it goes

You live and you learn

The rules of the road

And everyone knows

That that's how it goes

The rules of the road
