We laid the foundations down
It didn't take long
Before they came back tumbling down
Don't go at night
You need a little light
How else you gonna see
What it's gonna be like?

So we picked up our tools
And we worked in the morning light
With the last stone placed
Wasn't it a wonderful sight?
But it fell back down
And scattered all around
Anything passes when you need glasses
My monument:  it fell down

Work all of my days
For this kind of praise
It fell down
