 You know who I am

 I'm standing out here

 By your red velvet rope

  Your bouncers all say

 "Dude, you haven't a hope"

  In the cave of secrets

  I wonder what I'll see

 I met a talking zebra
A          E      D    Dm
 A man with fifty eyes

I saw a  fountain made of honey
           F#dim                B
I climbed a     mountain in the sky

Welcomed me in there
