Lyrics:

Climbing a mountain all day long is somethin'? I like to do, so

You'll find me hangin' from a rope, the side of a cliff or hill
I won't be home for supper, lunch or breakfast or snack, I will be
Climbing mountains, Climbing mountains, Climbing mountains
All the time, you bet
You don't know how it feels to swing like Tarzan from peak to peak
I love this kind of stuff, so I'll be gone for at least a week
I'm climbing mountains, Climbing mountains, Climbing mountains
Ev?ry day, you see

So there's El Capitan! The mountain that speaks to me at night
It never has left my line of sight
My dreams are now at hand
Because I am goin' to climb El Capitan,(you don't believe me?)
Here I go, my friend! The mountain is calling me to climb
I've never had feelings so sublime
Yes, here I go again! I'm really a fan of old El Capitan! You bet, sir

Gee, I think I'd like to climb the Matterhorn today
The Matterhorn, some way, the Matterhorn, hooray
Oh, I think that I could even climb Mount Everest today
Mt. Everest, the very best you've got, uh huh, uh huh
Golly gee, I'd also like to climb Mt. Washington someday
(Mt. Jefferson's OK) in Oregon today
And I'd like to climb the mountains of Bolivia, Ole
But now I'd like to say, I've got the time, I'm in my prime
So take me to a mountain I can climb

Yes, I'll climb up El Capitan, because I'm some kind of macho man
Please understand, it's my Master Plan to put my brand (on) El Capitan
I just can't stand living in Spokane where every man drives a minivan
So here's my plan: (don't you think it's grand?) to get a tan (on) El Capitan
So come with me to Afghanistan, where we can climb mountains hand in hand
I understand you're a Yankee fan, but my old man was Charlie Chan, man
