G Bb Fsus2
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
G Bb Fsus2
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know

Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
G Bb Fsus2
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands

[Chorus]
G Bb Fsus2
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
G Bb Fsus2
And an illustrated book about birds

You see a lot up there but don't be scared
G Bb Fsus2
Who needs action when you got words

G Bb Fsus2
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop

The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
G Bb Fsus2
And the work it was fun
[Chorus]
G Bb Fsus2
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop

And an illustrated book about birds

Who needs action when you got words
riff
[Verse]
G Bb Fsus2
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
G Bb Fsus2
Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mexico
G Bb Fsus2
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
G Bb Fsus2
But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could
