Stairway To Heaven Lyrics - American Idol

There's an old Australian stockman, er, rock band 

Trying, but dying 

They get themselves up onto their collective elbows 

Revert to their sixties instrumentation 

And they try again 

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold 

And she's buying a stairway to heaven 

All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven 

When she gets there she knows, if those stores are all closed 

With a word she can get what she came for 

All together now, with a word she can get what she came for 

Ooh and it makes me wonder 

(How does it affect you blokes?) Ooh and it makes us wonder 

(That's interesting that, yeah) 

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure 

'Cos you know words sometimes have two meanings 

All together now, 'cos you know words sometimes have two meanings 

(A lot of words have two meanings 

Um, like in this song the word to buy 

Buying a stairway to heaven, bought 

[pause] oh no, that's brought isn't it 

Well, er, there's lots of words have two meanings) 

In the tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings 

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven 

All together now, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven 

(Miss Given? Just change instruments now. Thankyou very much. 

Miss Given ladies and gentlemen. Isn't it nice to have your name mentioned in the song? 

Isn't that good. Lovely lady) 

[didgerydoo instrumental] 

(Quick burst of applause for Ross there, on the free trembler - good one 

Can I change instruments again? Thank you. 

[clears throat] Nearly finished [laughs]) 

There's a lady I'm sure that I've mentioned before (yes I did, yes) 

And she's buying a stairway to heaven 

All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven 

Ooh and it makes me wonder 

Ooh and it makes us wonder 

Ooh and it makes us wonder 

It makes us wonder 

[laughs]
