| Somewhere there should be, for all the world to see
|
| A statue of a fool made of stone
|
| An image of a man who let love slip through his hand
|
| And then let him stand there all alone
|
| So, build a statue and, oh, build it high
|
| So the world can see
|
| And inscribe, 'The World’s Greatest Fool'
|
| And name it after me
|
| Mmm, and there on his face, a gold tear should be placed
|
| To honor every tear he shed
|
| And I think it would show and everyone would know
|
| Concealed inside is a broken heart
|
| So, build a statue and, oh, build it high
|
| So the world can see
|
| And inscribe, 'The World’s Greatest Fool'
|
| And name it after me
|
| So, build a statue and, oh, build it high
|
| So that all can see
|
| And inscribe, 'The World’s Greatest Fool'
|
| And name it after me, yeah, yeah
|
| And name it after me |
