Lyrics

Ooh-la-la-la-la-la
Day after day
Alone on the hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping
Perfectly still
And 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 the cloud
The man with the 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
Ooh, and nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But that fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world
Spinning round
Spinning round, round
Fool on the hill
Fool on the hill
Another fool on the hill
Spinning round and round
Spinning round and round
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
