You Were the Fool

[Intro]

(Slow four

One, two, three, four)

[Verse 1]

Bless the father, bless the son

Cross your heart 'cause you're the one

Collectin' moonbeams in the mornin'

Curvy sticks and wooden poles

Assistin' you in pluggin' holes

Plug them holes till you see straight through to the mind's eye

[Pre-Chorus]

Think about it, turn around

And go back to the quiet sound

Of Jim and Dan prancin' 'round the pool

[Chorus]

You were the fool, and I feel sorry for you

You were the fool, but there's something you can do

[Verse 2]

You can wash your arm in a pool of mud

You can chop a tree, prevent a flood

You can speak with a turtle just by flippin' him around

You can build a boat and sail the sea

You can buy a moat and forge a key

Initiate the sequence, create catastrophe

[Pre-Chorus]

Think about it, turn around

And go back to the quiet sound

Of Jim and Dan prancin' 'round the pool

[Chorus]

You were the fool, and I feel sorry for you

You were the fool, but there's something you can do

[Verse 1]

Bless the father, bless the son

Cross your heart 'cause you're the one

Collectin' moonbeams in the mornin'

Curvy sticks and wooden poles

Assistin' you in pluggin' holes

Plug them holes till you see straight through to the mind's eye

[Pre-Chorus]

Think about it, turn around

And go back to the quiet sound

Of Jim and Dan prancin' 'round the pool

[Chorus]

You were the fool, and I feel sorry for you

You were the fool, but there's something you can do

You were the fool
