lyrics

I've been I've been up on up on
the heights of despair
and from and from the heights the heights
I saw you sitting there

So I climbed down the coconut tree
and got myself the clam
I smashed him on a rock and slurped it down my throat
then the waves started rolling in so I climbed right back up

I've been I've been up on up on
the heights of despair
I think I think I saw I saw a light shining out there

so I jumped off the coconut tree and right into the sea
I swam around like a great big fish untill I coulnd't breath
then I sank down to the deep dark deep where I became happy

I've been I've been way down way down
in the depths of despair
that's where that's where
I found I found my sunken treasure
