Young And Foolish
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why is it wrong to be
Young and foolish
We haven't long to be
Soon enough the carefree days
The sunlit days go by
Soon enough the bluebird has to fly
One day we fell in love
Now we wonder
What were we dreamin' of
Smiling in the sunlight
Laughing in the rain
I wish that we were young and foolish again
Smiling in the sunlight
Laughing in the rain
I wish that we were young and foolish again
The song "Young and Foolish" by The Rat Pack is a reflection on the fleeting nature of youth and the inevitability of growing old. The lyrics express a desire to go back to a time when they were carefree and lacked the concerns that come with maturity. The repetition of the phrase "Young and foolish" serves as a reminder that youth is a time for experimentation and making mistakes without fear of consequences.
The first verse paints a picture of the passing of time, acknowledging that the carefree days will eventually come to an end. The line "Soon enough the bluebird has to fly" is a metaphor for the end of youth and the need to move on to new phases of life. The second verse speaks specifically to falling in love during their younger years, and how they now question what they were thinking.
The chorus expresses a longing to relive those moments of youth, with its sunny days and carefree demeanor. It's a wistful reminder that youth is fleeting, and something that should be cherished while it lasts.
Overall, "Young and Foolish" is a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the need to embrace the experiences of youth before they vanish.

From a Broadway play from 1954 entitled Plain and Fancy. The musical was struggling on the stage until Eddie Fisher recorded its lead song, Young and Foolish, and turned both his record of the song and the play into big hits.
