I've got a song,

It's about so high,

It's about this big around,

It's got a wonderful sound,

But I can't sing it.

I've got a song,

It's a shade of green,

Embroidered all over with birds,

But I don't know the words,

So I can't sing it.

Some day I'll get on a mountaintop

And open up my mouth,

And this great big song

Will come rolling out

And echo North and South.

I've got a song,

It's three miles long,

It's bitter and strong and gay,

And I'll sing it some day,

And I'll sing it some day.
