The Yeti

[Verse 1]

Standing waist high in snow

What brought me here, I do not know

Sky is filled with starry scenes

Of heroes and their greatest deeds

Satellites move 'cross the sky

And every year, they multiply

Father bear is sound asleep

And will be so for several weeks

[Verse 2]

Across the plain, I see a figure

Every instant growing bigger

Instinct tells me run away

While faith proposes that I wave

He approaches to a rod

I whisper up a prayer to God

Stranger asks me with a grin

"Do you have the time, my friend?"

[Chorus]

Hima-, Himalaya

Is my old time stomping ground

(Oh yes, time is of the essence)

Mani-, Manitoba

Better snows, I've never found

(Oh yes, time is of the essence)

Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

The author looms above his page

And thinks it strange that at his age

He cannot find the proper words

To describe his only world

One would think that in a life

Where no two snowflakes are alike

One would have a brilliant rhyme

For each and every bit of time

[Chorus]

Hima-, Himalaya

Is my old time stomping ground

(Oh yes, time is of the essence)

Mani-, Manitoba

Better snows, I've never found

(Oh yes, time is of the essence)

Yeah
