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 hands

And then just let him stand there all alone



And there on his face

A gold tear should be placed

To honor the million tears he's cried

And the hurt in his eyes would show

So everyone would know

Concealed is a broken heart inside



So build a statue

Oh oh build it high

So that all

All the world can see

Then inscribe The World's Greatest Fool

And name it after me
