8. When the Dalai Lama went to Yugoslavia

When the Dalai Lama went to Yugoslavia
Everybody thought it would be very nice
Very nice indeed
All the people came from far and near
And the Dalai Lama decreed
High, high, high in the high Himalayas
We lived in a paradise
And everything was so very nice
Very nice indeed
We had no rich and no poor
Our monks were holy and pure
Even Buddha woulda' been impressed with us
But we never made a fuss, no not us
We just went on being holy and cool

When the Dalai Lama went to Yugoslavia
Everybody thought it would be very nice
Very nice indeed
All the people came from far and near
And the Dalai Lama decreed I am here
And I'm not
Now it may sound insane
But you're cold and you're hot
And you're free and you're caught
And you do and you don't got
And I feel your pain
But then possibly you won't
'Cause it's here and it's not
And they cheered him a lot
