Otherwise it will be your own fault
If you diverge and take a fall

The narrow corridor
Once crossed, by the conquistadors
Now you too can play
A proud and courageous warrior

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Just do as you were told
Follow the yellow brick road
Whether a man or a toad
Just leave that load
Where it belongs
Take a quick step, a tall step
A dance step, even a slow step
And follow the yellow brick road

Up, up, up the stairs
Never mind where you may fare
Just enjoy the time on the stairs

On this narrow road of summer
There is no time for bummers
Just follow the path of hummers
And find all the wonders
Of this little thing called summer
