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 and oh build it high
so that all can see
Then inscribe the World's Greatest Fool
and name it after me
