[00:01.93]Kismet: The Olive Tree - Howard Keel
[00:18.14]A fool sat beneath an olive tree
[00:23.74]And a wondrous thought had he
[00:27.72]So he rose and he told it to the sky
[00:31.70]And where was I Behind the tree
[00:35.29]I overheard his reverie
[00:43.74]Why be content with an olive
[00:46.07]When you could have the tree
[00:49.92]Why be content to be nothing
[00:52.50]When there's nothing you couldn't be
[00:56.68]Why be contented with one olive tree
[00:59.20]When you could have the whole olive grove
[01:02.86]Why be content with a grove
[01:05.14]When you could have the world
[01:10.01]The fool stood beneath the olive tree
[01:15.64]What a wondrous thought said he
[01:19.90]But alas it is very very deep
[01:23.79]And so he yawned and went to sleep
[01:27.84]Because you see he was a fool
[01:37.75]Why be content with an olive
[01:40.33]When you could have the tree
[01:44.02]That which has lulled
[01:45.14]You to sleep fool has awakened me
[01:50.31]Why should I sigh that my lot is my lot
[01:53.20]That I can't make it anything more
[01:56.49]When that is a lie an excuse for a fool to snore
[02:03.98]I walked from behind the olive tree
[02:12.10]With a wondrous change in me
[02:16.68]For I walked with my eye upon a Star
[02:20.96]If you have heard and do not heed
[02:25.41]There is a word for what you are
[02:34.49]And oh my friend the word is Fool
