Mount Everest Song

LYRICS

If I was a little bird,
small and quick,
I know exactly which place I’d pick.
I wouldn’t stay low,
oh no, I’d go,
Straight to the peak to fly around the snow!
I’m talking ’bout the top, the ultimate crest,
The one, the only, Mount Everest!

It’s the tallest peak on the Earth, you see?
The absolute highest place to be! I’d gaze right down,
spinning round and round,
Looking at the world from way off the ground!
Imagine what I’d see…
Yeah, imagine what I’d see!

The Himalayan range,
looking mighty strange,
From way up high,
where the views all change.
Nepal on the left, Tibet on the right,
Sparkling in the sun, what a crazy sight!
I see the climbers climbing,
moving inch by inch,
Reaching for the top,
yeah, it’s not a cinch.
They’re tired and they’re cold,
and they’re covered in sweat,
And guess what? (What?)
They aren’t summit yet!

Let’s break down the numbers!
Twenty-nine thousand, and thirty-five feet!
Up here in the sky where the cold winds meet.
That’s way up high,
past the clouds and the blue,
Higher than a plane?
Yeah, that’s almost true!

It’s the tallest peak on the Earth, you see?
The absolute highest place to be!
I’d gaze right down, spinning round and round,
Looking at the world from way off the ground!
Imagine what I’d see…
Yeah, imagine what I’d see!

So if I was a bird, and I could touch the sky,
That is exactly where I would fly. Everest… Flap your wings…
