When the site was found
we laid the foundations down.
It didn't take long before
they came back tumbling down.
Don't build at night
you need a little light.
How else you gonna see
what it is 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
My monument - it fell down
Work all of my days for
this kind of praise,
It fell down
Work all of my days - it fell down.
