about

A song to performers whatever they do and where ever they do it

lyrics

Here’s to the Fools
Here’s to the fools who work upon the street
Who conjure up a treat for all the passers by and
Here’s to the fool with a vigour and a style
Who can wake the tired soul and

Here’s to the fools with an arsenal of ways
To brighten up the days of everyone they see
And here’s to the fools with a simple turn of phrase
Who can show what fools we mortals be

Chorus

Many the costume common the crown
Song or scene or story
Many the country common the ground
Of fools in all their glory

Here’s to the fools who juggle all the rules
Who seem to take you to another time and place
And here’s to the fools who entertain the fools who have
Left another place behind
And here’s to the fools who are of better stock
Than all the useless rock you put their name upon
We are the fold who are as good as gold
When we lead you to your laughter.

Chorus

Fools Fools
