  2. Paul McCartney dijo sobre la canción:

    "Fool on the Hill" era mía y creo que la escribí por alguien como el Maharishi. Sus detractores lo llamaban "tonto" (fool). No era tomado en serio por su risita tonta... Yo estaba al piano en casa de mi padre en Liverpool tocando un acorde de Re sexta y compuse "The Fool on the Hill".
    Después, en una sesión de grabación de "With a Little Help from My Friends", McCartney la tocó para John Lennon, y éste le dijo que la escribiera. Paul no lo hizo, estaba seguro de que no la olvidaría.En una entrevista para Playboy en 1980, Lennon dijo: "Es Paul. Otra buena letra. Demuestra que es capaz de escribir canciones completas."

  3. Day after day
    Alone on a hill
    The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
    But nobody wants to know him
    They can see that he's just a fool
    And he never gives an answer
    But the fool on the hill
    Sees the sun going down
    And the eyes in his head
    See the world spinning 'round
    Well on the way
    Head in a cloud
    The man of a thousand voices
    Talking perfectly loud
    But nobody ever hears him
    Or the sound he appears to make
    And he never seems to notice
    But the fool on the hill
    Sees the sun going down
    And the eyes in his head
    See the world spinning 'round
    And nobody seems to like him
    They can tell what he wants to do
    And he never shows his feelings
    But the fool on the hill
    Sees the sun going down
    And the eyes in his head
    See the world spinning 'round
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round and round
    And he never listens to them
    He knows that they're the fools
    They don't like him
    The fool on the hill
    Sees the sun going down
    And the eyes in his head
    See the world spinning 'round
    Oh
    Oh
