Verse 1:

              
 Look on yonder misty mountain,
                      
 See the young monk medi-tating,
      
Rhodo-dendron forest.
          
 Over dusty years I ask you;
                   
 What's it been like being you?

Chorus 1:

                   
 Through all levels you've been changing,
                     
 Getting a little bit better no doubt.
                   
 The doctor bit was so far out.

                    
 Looking through crys-tal spectacles,
             
 I can see you had your fun.

Verse 2:

           
 Doing us pa-perback reader,
                      
 Made the teacher suspic-ious,
      
About insanity,
              
 Fingers always touching girl.

Chorus 2:

                   
 Through all levels you've been changing,
                     
 Getting a little bit better no doubt.
                   
 The doctor bit was so far out.

                   
 Looking through all kinds of windows,
             
 I can see you had your fun.
                   
 Looking through all kinds of windows,
             
 I can see you had your fun.

Verse 3:

             
 Rebel against society,
                  
 Such a tiny specula-ting,
        
Whether to be a hip or,
                
 Skip along quite merrily.

Chorus 4:

                   
 Through all levels you've been changing,
                
 Elevator in the brain hotel,
              
 Broken down a-just as well-a.

                    
 Looking through crys-tal spectacles,
             
 I can see you had your fun.
