Yellow Brick Road
[Intro]
"The following tone is a reference tone, recorded at our operating level."
[Verse 1]
Around the corner the wind blew back
Follow the yellow brick road
It ended up at blackboard black
I was taught the gift of love
Smiling children, painted joy
Sunshine bright, girl and boy
Bag of tricks and candy sticks
Peppermint kite for my toy
[Chorus]
Yellow brick, blackboard black
Keep on walking and don't look back
[Verse 2]
I walked along happy and then came back
I follow the yellow brick road
Lost and found, I saw you down
Alter-bound, alter-bound
Taught the gift of love
Yellow brick road took my load
Sunshine girl, sunshine girl
Come to my abode
1-2-3-4-5 miles long
Oh, I can't ever go wrong
Clouds were gray yesterday
Devil on my shoulder says time to play
[Chorus]
Yellow brick, blackboard black
Keep on walking and don't look back
[Verse 1]
Around the corner the wind blew back
Follow the yellow brick road
It ended up at blackboard black
I was taught the gift of love
Smiling children, painted joy
Sunshine bright, girl and boy
Bag of tricks and candy sticks
Peppermint kite for my toy
[Chorus]
Yellow brick, blackboard black
Keep on walking and don't look back
[Outro]
I follow the yellow brick road
I follow the yellow brick road
I follow the yellow brick road
I follow the yellow brick road now
I follow the yellow brick road
I follow the yellow brick road
I follow the yellow brick road
