lyrics

Now you may all sit there and wonder
Just what manner of fool under
The all mighty sun

Has nerve enough to stand there
Telling everyone
The things he's been told

I bet you think he's bold
But he tells you just the same
It was for this he came

So it would be wise
Not to just sit and criticize
But take of what he says what you can

And then my friend just
Spit out the rest
For further on up the road

There just may be a fool standing there
Telling everyone the things
He's been told

May that fool be you
