Foolkiller -

"Gene Pitney" - Year Song Released 1963

Once there was a boy, who left the bed he slept in.

And he ran away, 'cause he felt life was cruel.

A killer of fools was walking close behind him.

The boy was afraid that he'd be thought a fool.

Oh the foolkiller is a giant they say.

He chops down a fool and he goes on his wa-ay-ay.

Better runaway boy was a runaway boy.

Very much, like, you.

So he climed the hills, and roamed the woods and valleys.

Just get up and go, became his golden rule.

A killer of fools was walking in the shadows.

The boy was afraid that he'd be thought a fool.

Then there came a day a man and woman found him.

Lovingly they smiled, and then they called him son.

No more did he fear that wicked old fool killer.

I know that it's true because I was the one.

Oh the foolkiller is a giant they say.

He chops down a fool and he goes on his wa-ay-ay.

Well who was the fool tell me the boy in his bed?

Or the boy who used to roam?

Runaway boy listen, runaway boy, better go on home.
