The Fool Killer
Once there was a boy who left the bed he slept inAnd he ran away 'cause he felt life was cruelA killer of fools was walking close behind himThe boy was afraid that he'd be thought a foolOh the fool killer is a giant they sayHe chops down a fool and he goes on his wayBetter runaway boy was a runaway boyVery much like youSo, he claimed the hills and roamed the woods and valleysJust get up and go became his golden ruleA killer of fools was walking in the shadowsThe boy was afraid that he'd be thought a foolThen there came a day a man and woman found himLovingly they smiled and then they called him sonNo more did he fear that wicked old fool killerI know that it's true because I was the oneOh the fool killer is a giant they sayHe chops down a fool and he goes on his wayWell who was the fool tell me the boy in his bedOr the boy who used to roamRunaway boy listen, runaway boy better go on home From Letras Mania
