Sugarloaf Mountain

Come little birdy

Singing so sweet

Can you show me how to get to

Sugarloaf Mountain

Come Little Birdy

Singing so sweet

I was only little

Couldn't read, write, barely even paradiddle

Featherweight like a kite getting swept in the wind

Carried over on a flight to cobblestone cottages

Leading to a bustling street

Tin man with his hand out was trying to greet me

But he froze in place I didn't know how to free him

No not a penny in my pocket in a currency he would need

No I shoulda known better

No no I shoulda known better

Oh silly Billy shoulda known better

Turned around when I heard a TOOT TOOT

Little choo choo train in a red hot soup

full steam ahead

when I picked em up in a scoop

Straight out of a tin can

To his number one fan

Ooo

Get the crayons

I need him to sign

This old heavy hard cover book copy of mine

If a very useful engine

Would be so kind

Get it covered in a whole lotta

tomato passata

No no I shoulda known better

No no I shoulda known better

Mother said that out on the horizon

I would get to find my pot of gold

Up high where only time flies

In the ivory skies yea I gotta go

I resolve to go outside

With an open mind to guide me

out of the safe house

And running to the clouds

Where I'm looking all around

For the Sugarloaf mountain

It never went according to plan

Head like fried egg sunny-side ended up in a scramble

In the midst of the mist

I slip right into the brambles

And all the Overgrown ones are

Telling me I shoulda known

I swear I must be near it now

Don't need to hear about how I'm just a

Silly little boy

Never waiting for the rain to give out

I'm a wizard on a mission

I don't need no permission

To be running about

Up until the sugar runs out

Someone told me I gotta keep my eyes fixed

Ever so brightly on the horizon

There's a world that will never see the light

If we don't bring the sunshine out to go find em

Out of sight and out of mind

I leave all I've known behind me

Cause now that I've started running

I can't stop

No not until I'm at the top of

Sugarloaf mountain

Sugarloaf mountain

Sugarloaf mountain

On the top of sugarloaf mountain

Sugarloaf mountain
