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