Don't Jump Over The Cliff!
Written by Tom Radd
Climbing up a mountain,
On a clear blue day.
I never saw the clouds coming;
If I did, I'd run away.
Don't jump over the cliff,
Find another way around.
We can go left or right,
Or take a flight,
But never straight down.
The rain started pouring,
The mountain got wet.
I needed to stay dry somehow,
Or a cold I'd surely get.
Don't jump over the cliff,
Find another way around.
We can go left or right,
Or take a flight,
But never straight down.
The rain fell hard for a long while,
Then something happened that made me smile.
A flying saucer in the sky
Flew over my head and kept me dry.
Don't jump over the cliff,
Find another way around.
We can go left or right,
Or take a flight,
But never straight down.
Don't jump over the cliff,
Find another way around.
We can go left or right,
Or take a flight,
But never straight down.
Never straight down.
