All the big fools in town got together Every hopeless lovin' heart I know was there We all sat around and told our own best story Then they made me the big fool of the year. Oh, they gave to me a little golden statue Of the torch that I carried for you, dear They said no one else could even come close to me And that I was the big fool of the year. I'll put mine up beside Any foolish love in town 'Cause there's none can hold a light To this torch I carried round. I can't say I'm to proud of the honor But then I guess I do deserve it, dear For to love you after all you've made me suffer Surely makes me the big fool of the year. Yes, you've made me the big fool of the year
