Mountain Of Love
sung by Little Jerry (Jerry Nelson)
and The Monotones (Christopher Cerf, Richard Hunt and Jeff Moss)
Note: Throughout the song Little Jerry and the band are climbing a mountain with the word "LOVE" carved from stone at the top.
Monotones: Climbing, climbing, climbing, climbing
Little Jerry: Oh the mountain of love is so tall and high
You must climb from the bottom way up towards the sky
Love will be waiting high on the mountain of love
Monotones: The mountain of love
Little Jerry: Oh the mountain of love, you must climb towards the top
Though your heart and feet grow weary, still you'll never stop
Love will be waiting high on the mountain of love
Monotones: The mountain of love
Little Jerry: You climb up towards the sky and look down to the ground
A mountain is much higher than the other land around
You look up over-head and see the birds above
All: You must reach the top of the mountain of love
Little Jerry: Oh the mountain of love so high in the air
You must keep on climbing for love is waiting there
Oh love will be waiting, high on the mountain
The mountain of...
Big Jeffy: Mountain of...
All: Love
Big Jeffy (spoken): Yes, Little Jerry, you made it all the way to the top.
To the top of the mountain of love.
You put down one foot after another, and you made it with Little Chrissy and Big Jeffy high to the top of the world looking down from the top of the mountain of love.
You pick them up and you put them down.
Yes, high to the top of the mountain, the mountain of love.
