The Dalai Lama Song © 2008 Martha Ann Brooks
Let’s sell our stuff or hock it
Put cash into our pockets
Decide that we are true vagabonds
Hit Okay Oklahoma
Then Nothing Arizona
Even take in Sopchoppy, Flar-I-duh
We’re dying by the second the erudite say
I prefer to stick with living
Taking time to stop and play
So Bay-Bee
Let’s meet the Dalai Lama
Visit Yokahama
Find a place where Alton Brown ate (something tasty)
See Caribou in Maine-ee
Be just a little zany
Ride a scooter not driving is great (um-humm)
Life should not be stagnant, boring, un-fun
Don’t be thinking we should slow down
When the fun has just begun
So Bay-Bee
Let’s try to go see Oprah
And sit upon her sofa
She’s down to earth just like you and me
We’ll enjoy Albuquerque
Where skies are never murky
And find out just why those antelope play (all day)
It’s fun to talk of travel
And seeing new things
But sometimes the best place to be
Is on a front porch swinging
So Let’s find ourselves a front porch
I’m carrying a big torch
Just for you like I have for so long
We’ll have some chocolate pie then
We’ll get that swing to swinging
And I think that we’ll be swinging along
For a quite awhile
Bay-Bee
I think we will be swinging for awhile
Yeah, yeah, that’s you and me
We be swingers oh yeah un-huh
We’ll be swingin for a long, long time to come
Oh yeah un-huh
Al right
Yeah that’s you and me
Oh yeah
