FOOL ON THE HILL
(John Lennon / Paul McCartney) 1967

Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66


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 his way
His 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.

(bridge)

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.

(bridge to fade)
