You Were the Fool Songtext
von Ween

(Slow four, one, two, three, four)

Bless the father, bless the son
Cross your heart ′cause you're the one
Collectin′ moon beams in the mornin'
Curvy sticks and wooden poles
Assistin' you in pluggin′ holes
Plug them holes ′til you see straight through to the mind's eye

Think about it, turn around
And go back to the quiet sound
Of Jim and Dan prancin′ 'round the pool
You were the fool, and I feel sorry for you
You were the fool, but there′s something you can do


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, sail the sea
You can buy a moat, forge a key
Initiate the sequence, create catastrophe

Think about it, turn around
And go back to the quiet sound
Of Jim and Dan prancin′ 'round the pool
You were the fool, and I feel sorry for you
You were the fool, but there's something you can do

Bless the father, bless the son
Cross your heart ′cause you′re the one
Collectin' moon-beams in the mornin′
Curvy sticks and wooden poles
Assistin' you in pluggin′ holes
Plug them holes 'til you see straight through to the mind′s eye

Think about it, turn around
And go back to the quiet sound
Of Jim and Dan prancin' 'round the pool
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
