The Fiddler On The Hill

I CAN HEAR THE FIDDLER PLAYING

HIGH UPON THE HILL

HE WATCHES FIRES BURNING

AND HE GETS A SECRET THRILL

HE'LL KEEP ON PLAYING FIDDLE

ALL THE LONG NIGHT LONG

WHILE THE FIRE JUST KEEPS ON BURNING

TO THE FIDDLER'S SONG

WHERE USED TO BE A MANSION

NOW STANDS A PILE OF ASH

ALL THAT ONCE WAS TREASURED

IS NOTHING MORE THAN TRASH

STILL THE FIDDLER KEEPS ON PLAYING

ALL THE LONG NIGHT LONG

WHILE THE FIRE JUST KEEPS ON BURNING

TO THE FIDDLER'S SONG

(bridge)

WHO'S TO BLESS AND WHO'S TO BLAME?

AND DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

TO THE FIDDLER ON THE HILL

IS HE THE ONLY SANE ONE?

OR IS HE MADDER THAN A HATTER?

THE FIRES KEEP ON BURNING

AND THE WORLD JUST KEEPS ON TURNING

WHERE USED TO BE A CITY

IS NOW ENGULFED IN FIRE

THE PEOPLE TRIED TO FIGHT IT

BUT THEY JUST MADE THE FLAMES BURN HIGHER

STILL THE FIDDLER KEEPS ON PLAYING

ALL THE LONG NIGHT LONG

WHILE THE FIRE JUST KEEPS ON BURNING

TO THE FIDDLER'S SONG
