The Fool On The Hill Lyrics - Basie On The Beatles - Count Basie

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 

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 sounds he appears to make 

And he never seems to notice 

But the fool on the hill 

Sees the sun going down 

And the eyes in his head 

See the world spinning round 

And nobody seems to like him 

They can tell what he wants to do 

And he never shows his feelings 

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 

The fool on the hill 

Sees the sun going down 

And the eyes in his head 

See the world spinning round 

Oh
