A Fool There Was

A fool, there was

A fool, there was

Decision after decision

I spite myself because

If ever a fool there was

What a fool there was

You can't put that on me

You can't put that on me

I know what you said about me

And I mostly agree

But you can't put that on me

A fool, there was

A fool, there was

Incision after incision

I spite myself because

If ever a fool there was

What a fool there was

But you, you can't put that on me

No, you mustn't put that one on me

I know what you say about me, Joe

And I mostly agree

But you can't put that on me

And all your tastes and preferences

Are measured out in Moscow miles

And all the wolf prints in the snow

Letters off the straight and the narrow

And crooked smiles after one too many sad goodbyes

No longer say hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello

After one too many sad goodbyes

No longer say hello

Hello, hello
