Let’s sing a song together

The Fool on the Hill Day after day alone on a hill, The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still, But nobody wants to know him. They can see that he’s just a fool, And he never gives an answer. Refrain: But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round. Well on the way, head in a cloud. The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud, But nobody ever hears him, Or the sound he appears to make, And he never seems to notice. Refrain.

And nobody seems to like him, They can tell what he wants to do, And

he never shows his feelings. Refrain: But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round. He never listens to them, He knows that they’re the fools, They don’t like him. Refrain.
