My friends all say, "How could you be so blind?"
I never thought she was the cheatin' kind
I lost my pride, and now I fear
That I'm the fool of the year

Ring, ring the bells and spread the word around
The king of fools has at last been found
Let's get together and give a cheer
For I'm the fool of the year

Get the blue ribbons, strike up the band
Come see the biggest fool; believe me, here I stand

So you can see why I should get the prize
Since I'm the one who fell for all her lies
So clap your hands and I'll shed a tear
You're lookin' at the fool of the year

So you can see why I should get the prize
Since I'm the one who fell for all her lies
So clap your hands and I'll shed a tear
You're lookin' at the fool of the year

You're lookin' at the fool of the year
You're lookin' at the fool of the year
