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 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 And there on his face a gold tear should be placed
To honor every tear he shed And I think it would show that 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
