Stairway To Heaven
Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Led Zeppelin
If I think of a song
If I think of a song
That goes for too long
That goes for too long
It would have to be Stairway to Heaven
It would have to be Stairway to Heaven
While the music is grand
While the music is grand
I just don’t understand
I just don’t understand
Why the words in the song have no meaning
Why the words in the song have no meaning
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Here’s our short spoof of Stairway to Heaven
Here’s our short spoof of Stairway to Heaven
I say “short” because we
I say “short” because we
left out a verse or three
left out a verse or three
The original had seven verses
The original had seven verses
And we do overlook
And we do overlook
Lines like “tree by the brook”
Lines like “tree by the brook”
That gave Led Zeppelin’s song so much beauty
That gave Led Zeppelin’s song so much beauty
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, did we make a blunder?
Ooh, did we make a blunder?
We skipped the parts about the “piper”, and the “songbird”
We skipped the parts about the “piper”, and the “songbird”
Ours has no “Spring cleans for May Queens”
Ours has no “Spring cleans for May Queens”
But there is one thing that we copied, from Led Zeppelin
But there is one thing that we copied, from Led Zeppelin
We don’t try to make the words rhyme
We don’t try to make the words rhyme
But we had a problem
But we had a problem
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
See there’s an awesome guitar solo, and it’s a long one
See there’s an awesome guitar solo, and it’s a long one
Two people wanted to play it
Two people wanted to play it
We had an argument that almost broke the band up
We had an argument that almost broke the band up
Good thing we came to a compromise
Good thing we came to a compromise
Here goes…
Here goes…
[solo]
[solo]
Here comes the part with real high notes
Here comes the part with real high notes
And when we sing, it hurts our throats
And when we sing, it hurts our throats
So now we keep Led Zeppelin’s flow
So now we keep Led Zeppelin’s flow
But sing it one whole octave low
But sing it one whole octave low
Now that we’re almost to the end
Now that we’re almost to the end
You may have noticed there’s a trend
You may have noticed there’s a trend
The real song made no sense it’s true
The real song made no sense it’s true
But ours turned out meaningless too, yeah
But ours turned out meaningless too, yeah
At least it rocked and it rolled
At least it rocked and it rolled
And that’s the real point of “Stairway to Heaven”
And that’s the real point of “Stairway to Heaven”
