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
