Stairway To Heaven

Rolf Harris

Rolf's spoken asides are in (brackets)



[Spoken:]

There's an old Australian stockman, er, rock band

Trying, but dying

They get themselves up onto their collective elbows

Revert to their sixties instrumentation

And they try again



There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

When she gets there she knows, if those stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for

All together now, with a word she can get what she came for



Ooh and it makes me wonder

(How does it affect you blokes?) Ooh and it makes us wonder

(That's interesting that, yeah)



There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure

'Cos you know words sometimes have two meanings

All together now, 'cos you know words sometimes have two meanings



(A lot of words have two meanings

Um, like in this song the word to buy

Buying a stairway to heaven, bought

[pause] oh no, that's brought isn't it

Well, er, there's lots of words have two meanings)



In the tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

All together now, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven



(Miss Given? Just change instruments now. Thankyou very much.

Miss Given ladies and gentlemen. Isn't it nice to have your name mentioned in the song?

Isn't that good. Lovely lady)

(Quick burst of applause for Ross there, on the free trembler - good one

Can I change instruments again? Thank you.

[clears throat] Nearly finished [laughs])



There's a lady I'm sure that I've mentioned before (yes I did, yes)

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven



Ooh and it makes me wonder

Ooh and it makes us wonder

Ooh and it makes us wonder
