Going to climb alone
All the long hot day
I'll put my faith in manilla rope
I'll never go on belay
They'll find me with my head caved in
Doo dah, doo dah
With both arms gone and a mouthful of shin
Oh, a doo dah day
Going to climb alone
All the long hot day
I'll put my faith in manilla rope
I'll never go on belay
They'll line my coffin with a plastic sheet
Doo dah, doo dah
So I won't drain out at the pallbearers' feet
Oh, a doo dah day
Going to climb alone
All the long hot day
I'll put my faith in manilla rope
I'll never go on belay
As the coroner turns a sickly green
Doo dah, doo dah
He'll certify me as dead at the scene
Oh, a doo dah day
Going to climb alone
All the long hot day
I'll put my faith in manilla rope
I'll never go on belay
