I have been good
For effect
I'm already ready
For my great reward
Mountain and river
Stopping to swim
You can't everyday
Could we?
I must reach the clearing
My vision is failing
I see things clearly
Or not at all
It is that fool's lament
It is that fool's lament
I've taken the edge off
So many times
I'm round
The sculptor too long
Ends in dust
An admirer of women
He tried to make a bust
He didn't know when to stop
Chipping, chip in, chippee, chip, chipchee
Humiliation is good
It means you believe in something
My comeuppance I embrace
Like a monkey dressed just like me
It is that fool's lament
It is that fool's lament
Be a man
Be a man
Be a man
Be a woman
