Montains of Lhasa are feeling the rain 
People are walking the Botella lanes 
Preacher takes the school 
One boy breaks a rule 
Silly boy blue, silly boy blue 
 
Yak butter statues that melt in sun 
Cannot dissolve all the work you've not down 
A chela likes to feel 
That his overself pays the bill 
Silly boy blue, silly boy blue 
 
You wish and wish, and wish again 
You've tried so hard to fly 
You'll never leave your body now 
You've got to wait to die  
La la la la la la la la la la [x2] 
La la la la la [x2] 
Silly boy blue, silly boy blue 
Child of the Tibet, you're a gift from the sun 
Reincarnation of one better man 
The homeward road is long 
You've left your prayers and song 
Silly boy blue, silly boy blue 
Silly boy blue, silly boy blue
