Bit by bit, I'm gonna get my bricks out in the sticks
Bit by bit, I'm gonna build my house in the wildest thickets
I'm gonna get away from all those mouths and my shit
I'm gonna say goodbye to all the la-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da
I'm getting on a mountain
Far away from the people on the ground and
Some cop sticking up my wagon
One by one (one by one)
I'm gonna get my properties all bundled up (bundled up)
To the branch of a poplar tree and saunter off
With a buck and a wildebeest
We're getting lost, we're getting lost, we're getting lost
I'm getting on a mountain
Far away from the people on the ground and
Some cop sticking up my wagon
Chop, chop, we're gonna build a cabin
Up top on a pretty little mountain
Fuck off, all you people on the ground, yeah
No, I won't bring too much of anything
Maybe a little slicker for the rain
Maybe just a good book and a heart to break
I'll make a mistress of a little Wiccan thing
Bit by bit, I'm gonna get my bricks out in the sticks
Bit by bit, I'm gonna build my house in the wildest thickets
I'm gonna get away from all those mouths and my shit
I'm gonna say goodbye to all the la-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da
I'm getting on a mountain
Far away from the people on the ground and
Some cop sticking up my wagon
Chop, chop, we're gonna build a cabin
Up top on a pretty little mountain
Fuck off, all you people on the ground, yeah
