[Verse 1 – alternating male and female singers]
There's a lady who knows
All that glitters is gold
As she's buying a stairway to Heaven

When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
Sometimes all of our words have two meanings

There's a tree, and a brook
And a little birdie who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgivings

[Chorus – both singers together]
Doo-wah, doo-wah
It makes me wonder
Doo-wah, doo-wah
It makes me wondеr
Doo-wah, doo-wah
It makes me wonder

[Verse 2 – all singers together, then alternating]
If thеre's a bustle in your hedgerow
Swing-a-dillah!
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
In June or July!
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
Doo-dah-dee!
You need some time to change the road
The road, the road that you're on
Your head is humming
It won't go
(Did you know?)
No!
The piper's calling you to join him
Eight to the bar!
It makes me wonder...

[Bridge – both singers together]
And as we groove on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
(Oh well, at last!)
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to ro-oh-oh-oh-oll!

[Outro]
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
Heaven...
(Heaven!)
