STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
(Plant / Page / Harris)
Rolf Harris - 1993 


Rolf's spoken asides are in (brackets)

(Spoken:)
There's an old Australian stockman, er, rock band 
Trying, but dying 
They get themselves up onto their collective elbows 
Revert to their sixties instrumentation 
And they try again 

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold 
And she's buying a stairway to heaven 
All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven 
When she gets there she knows, if those stores are all closed 
With a word she can get what she came for 
All together now, with a word she can get what she came for 

Ooh and it makes me wonder 
(How does it affect you blokes?) Ooh and it makes us wonder 
(That's interesting that, yeah) 

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure 
'Cos you know words sometimes have two meanings 
All together now, 'cos you know words sometimes have two 
meanings 

(A lot of words have two meanings 
Um, like in this song the word to buy 
Buying a stairway to heaven, bought 
(pause) oh no, that's brought isn't it 
Well, er, there's lots of words have two meanings) 

In the tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings 
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven 
All together now, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven 

(Miss Given? Just change instruments now. Thankyou very much. 
Miss Given ladies and gentlemen. Isn't it nice to have your 
name mentioned in
the song? 
Isn't that good. Lovely lady) 

(didgerydoo instrumental)

(Quick burst of applause for Ross there, on the free trembler 
- good one 
Can I change instruments again? Thank you.
(clears throat) Nearly finished (laughs) 

There's a lady I'm sure that I've mentioned before (yes I did, yes) 
And she's buying a stairway to heaven 
All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven 

Ooh and it makes me wonder 
Ooh and it makes us wonder 
Ooh and it makes us wonder 
It makes us wonder 

(laughs)
