Lyr Req: Foolish Pleasure (McLain Family Band)

The McLain Family Band sang a song called Foolish Pleasure. I believe it may have been set to a pre-existing fiddle tune of the same name. The chorus went:

Give me rhythm
In it's fullest measure
Wild harmonies I never learned in school
If this is what they're calling foolish pleasure
You're looking at an ever-ready fool!

Does anyone know the verses?
