Lyrics
The moon has said the hounds howl There's mist upon the moor We'll sing you a song about Heaven and Hell And where is best to go
A stairway to Heaven is the road to Hell Don't forget to take the fork at the end
One is climbing, the other's sliding Along some unusual ways By some odd places As it winds its way Down, down, down Down, down, down
Essence of life is its corrigible root Learn to ride and learn to shoot Learn to live well among friends of the cloth And always be good to your ma and pa
Everyone, I guess, is brought up the same Always be fair, play by the rules of the game Whatever it is, wherever it's played Whenever that is on life's great stage
The dice roll and coin comes up heads Visions of sugar plums dance in our heads
But don't be deceived, and don't be betrayed Be good to each other Believe that today
