Lyrics
How many miles to Babylon?
Threescore and ten.
Can I get there by candlelight?
Yes, and back again.
How many miles to Babylon?
Threescore and ten.
What's greener than any grass
What's smoother than any glass
What's deeper than any sea
What's higher than any tree
Envy's greener than any grass
Flattery's smoother than any glass
Woe is deeper than any sea
Joy is higher than any tree
How many miles to Babylon?
Threescore and ten.
Can I get there by candlelight?
Yes, and back again.
How many miles to Babylon?
Threescore and ten..
What's louder than any horn
What's sharper than any thorn
What's brighter than any day
What's longer than any way
Anger's louder than any horn
Hunger's sharper than any thorn
Laughter's brighter than any day
And love is longer than any way
How many miles to Babylon?
Threescore and ten.
Can I get there by candlelight?
Yes, and back again.
How many miles to Babylon?
Threescore and ten.
One for sorrow, Two for mirth ,
Three for death, Four for birth,
Five for silver, Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told
How many miles to Babylon?
Threescore and ten.
Can I get there by candlelight?
Yes, and back again.
How many miles to Babylon?
Threescore and ten.
