Well I waited and I waited up at day and night
Thinking that my phone would ring.
But you never gave me a second thought
H E
Yes you told them all about what a clown I was
And how you had me on the end of a string
Now I got a title for which I?m known
H E A
Well you seem so close
But just out of reach
I?m always chasing something down the road
H
A long long time ago.
But now no matter where I wander
All over town
I can hear them laughing at me
H E A
Yes, the fool of the century
