Up in Tibet high I the Himalayas
There lives a cat called the Dalai Lama
In a palace called the Potala
A thousand rooms in a thousand colors
She had a far-out decorator

Each room is different and filled with relics
That will disorient you like psychedelics
30 thousand monks at his direction
Practicing things like astral projection

Yeah, you know the Dalai Lama gets those monks together
And leads them singing every Wednesday at the prayer meeting
That's how he maintains the devotion of his followers
You know, it kinda goes
A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three…
They pick a two year old and get him from his mama
And take him to the palace to be the Dalai Lama
I hear he never swats a mosquito
That's cause he's a follower of Buddha
Dalai Lama
Dalai Lama
He's the Dalai Lama
