Lyrics

Taking Tiger Mountain

We climbed and we climbed

Oh, how we climbed

My, how we climbed

Over the stars to top Tiger Mountain

Forcing the lines through the snow

We climbed and we climbed

Oh, how we climbed

My, how we climbed

Over the stars to top Tiger Mountain

Forcing the lines through the snow

We climbed and we climbed

Oh, how we climbed

My, how we climbed

Over the stars to top Tiger Mountain

Forcing the lines through the snow

We climbed and we climbed

Oh, how we climbed

My, how
