Burt Bacharach - Fool k**er lyrics

Once there was a boy who left the bed he slept in And he ran away 'cause he felt life was cruel A k**er of fools was walking close behind him The boy was afraid that he was a fool Oh the fool k**er is a giant, they say He chops down the fool and he goes on his way That runaway boy was a runaway boy Very much like you So he climbed the hills and roamed the woods and valleys Just get up and go became his golden rule A k**er of fools was walking in the shadows The boy was afraid that he was a fool Then there came a day a man and woman found him Loving meeting smile and then they called him son No more did he fear that wicked old fool I know that it's true because I was the one Oh, the fool k**er is a giant, they say He chops down the fool and he goes on his way Well, who was the fool, tell me The boy in his bed, or the boy you used to know Runaway boy, listen Runaway boy, better grow on better
