Gb C
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Gb C
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Gb C
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
Gb C
to beautify the foothills shake the many hands
CHORUS
F E A Gb
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds
F E
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
A F
Who needs action when you got words
Gb
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
C
and look at what you've done
Gb
The plateau's clean no dirt to be seen
C
and the work it was fun
CHORUS
F E A Gb
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds
F E
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
A F
Who needs action when you got words
Gb C
Many a hand began to scan around for the next plateau
Gb C
Some say it was Greenland and some say Mexico
Gb C
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
Gb C
Those were all just guesses wouldn't help you if they could
