She bought a one way ticket
To a faraway land
She kept it in a jewel box
On her bedside stand
She was over getting older
Friends told her “try harder, baby”
“You’ve got to play your hand”
There’s a place in the mountains
Up above the clouds
Make your papa proud
There’s a place in the valley
You’ll be dressed in white
Time to book your flight
Cause the only way is down
If you hang around
Momma’s little helper
Go to sleep and dream
Don’t you let them see you
Fraying at the seams
Cold shoulders, getting colder
Little voices, getting bolder lately
They surely can be mean
There’s a place in the mountains
Up above the clouds
Make your papa proud
There’s a place in the valley
You’ll be dressed in white
Go and book your flight
Cause the only way is down
If you hang around
