Mucho Mungo, sweet thing
Sweetest little thing I've ever seen
Must have been a sweet dream brought you here
Brought you through the sorrow and the tears

C'est la, c'est la, c'est la vie
Sail upon the ocean, sail with me
Sail into tomorrow every day
Looking for the sunshine through the haze

But wait, what's this I see?
Could it be?

Mount Elga, Mount Elga, a high mountain
I climb as I'm dreaming, uh huh
Mount Elga, Mount Elga, a high mountain
I climb as I'm dreaming, catchin' me hell

To climb this hill
The more I try to climb, I'm slipping still
Me body run down, me feeling weak
The more I try to climb up this mountain peak

Mucho Mungo, sweet thing
Sweetest little thing since sweet sixteen
C'est la, c'est la, c'est la vie
Sail across the ocean, sail with me
