When the site was found
We laid the foundation down
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're gonna see
What it's gonna be like?
So we picked up our tools
And we worked in the mornin' light
With the last stone placed
Wasn't it a wonderful site?
But it fell back down
And scattered all around
Anything passes
When you need some glasses
My monument
My monument
My monument, it fell down
My monument
Work all my days
For this kind of praise
My monument
Don't build at night
You need a little light
How else you're gonna see
What it's gonna be like?
My monument
My monument
My monument, it fell down
My monument
