[Verse 1]
Clouds so swift, the rain's pourin' in
We're gonna see a movie called "Gunga Din"
Pack up your money, put up your tent McGuinn
You ain't goin' nowhere

[Chorus]
Ooh wee, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day that my bride's gonna come now
Oh, oh, how we gonna fly
Down into the easy chair

[Verse 2]
Well, Genghis Khan and his brother Don
They could not keep from keepin' on
We'll cross that bridge after it's gone
After we have passed it, yeah

[Chorus]
Ooh wee, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day that my bride's gonna come now
Oh, oh, how we gonna fly
Down into the easy chair
Oh no
Oh, down into the easy chair

[Verse 3]
Diamonds and rings and a gun that sings
A flute that toots and a bee that stings
A sky that cried and a bird that flies
A fish that walks and a dog that talks

[Chorus]
Ooh wee, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day that my bride's gonna come now
Oh, oh, how we gonna fly
Down into the easy chair
Oh oh
Oh, down into the easy chair, yeah
Oh, down into the easy, easy, easy chair

[Outro]
Ooh wee, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day that my bride's gonna come now
Oh, oh, how we gonna fly
Down into the easy chair
Oh, down into the easy, easy, easy chair
