When your hair is like a mountain you can climb it like a beanstalk
Climb up all the way to the sky
If you’ve got the courage take a look inside yourself
You could get so high you think you can fly
You’ve gotta reach up, be taken higher
Take you higher than the sky blue sky
When you wanna go back down, take my hand
This ain’t no one way ticket to town (no, no I know)
When your voice is really scrumptious but sound’s like a foghorn
You know you are destined so high
If you’ve got the patience you can make it on your own
You’ll be so high you know you can fly, fly!
You’ve gotta reach up, be taken higher
Take you higher than the sky blue sky
When you wanna go back down, take my hand
This ain’t no one way ticket to town (no, no I know)
I’ll be waiting at the pearly gates of heaven
We’re gonna fly so high we’ll crank it up to legs eleven!
Ooooooo, you’ve gotta reach up, be taken higher
Take you higher than the sky blue sky
When you wanna go back down, take my hand, take my hand...
Take it, go on and take it. Don't you break it
Go on and take it, don't fake it and take it
Go on and take it. Don't you break it
Go on and take it, don't fake it and take it
Take my hand

All words & music by Tico Jnr. except
Bri Jnr. reckons he came up with the title. Maybe he did
Tico Jnr. suggests:
I am good, aren't I? I remember writing this whilst moonlighting as an office worker. It was nearly the one that got away, as I felt the vibe was a bit too advanced for the dance-combo band that we were slowly becoming.
Luckily, a few members of the royal family caught wind of my pickle and popped a telegram over wishing me well and that I let the masses hear the tremendous track. With a bit of spit and polish it was done. Some lovely sections, not many sex shuns, and a good all right time to be had with this in your earholes. I quite like it now, it's a favourite of my many billion fans.
Bri Jnr., has a stumble before advising:
Oh this might just be THE happiest tune ever composed. Tico was certainly in a buoyant, bouncy mood when he first presented this song to me in it's raw form. I gave him the initial idea of course, providing him with the inspiring song title.
Tico then went away and consulted with Shovel for the loan of Heather Small to sing this super light and fluffy, major key pop-soul banger. Shovel agreed so long as he could feature somewhere and Tico obliged, handing Shovel the reins to the 'Legs Eleven' section.
Heather went hell for leather with her performance here, guaranteeing that nobody could resist her generous offer of her hand for you to take. It was a slowburing success, eventually being added to school curriculums across the United Kingdom- Indeed, it can be heard sung by children of various ages at school assemblies weekly alongside 'The Lords Prayer'. Tico even got an invite to read a bedtime story on 'CBeebies' as a result. His choice of 'The Shining' didn't fare too well with the core audience though...
