[Instrumental Intro]

[Chorus]

I think I'm goin' to Katmandu

That's really, really where I'm goin' to

If I ever get out of here

That's what I'm gonna do

K-k-k-k-k-k-Katmandu

I think it's really where I'm goin' to

If I ever get out of here

I'm goin' to Katmandu

[Verse 1]

I got no kick against the West Coast

Warner Brothers are such good hosts

I raise my whiskey glass and give 'em a toast

I'm sure they know it's true

I got no rap against the southern states

Every time I been there it's been great

But now I'm leavin' and I can't be late

And to myself be true

[Chorus]

That's why I'm goin' to Katmandu

Up to the mountains where I'm goin' to

Hey, if I ever get out of here

That's what I'm gonna do

Oh, K-k-k-k-k-k-Katmandu

Really, really where I'm goin' to

Oh, if I ever get out of here

I'm goin' to Katmandu

[Verse 2]

I got no quarrel with the Midwest

The folks out there have given me their best

I've lived there all my life, I've been their guest

I sure have loved it too

I'm tired of lookin' at the TV news

I'm tired of drivin' hard and payin' dues

I figure, baby, I got nothing to lose

I'm tired of bein' blue

[Chorus]

Oh, that's why I'm goin' to Katmandu

Up to the mountains where I'm goin' to

Oh, if I ever get out of here

That's what I'm gonna do

Oh, K-k-k-k-k-k-Katmandu

Take me baby 'cause I'm goin' with you

If I ever get out of here

I'm goin' to Katmandu

{Bridge}

Oh, take it away

[Verse 3]

I ain't got nothin' 'gainst the East Coast

You want some people, well, they got the most

And New York City's like a friendly ghost

You seem to pass right through

I know I'm gonna miss the USA

I guess I'll miss it every single day

But no one loves me here anyway

I know my plane is due

[Chorus]

The one that's goin' to Katmandu

Up to the mountains where I'm goin' to

If I ever get out of here

That's what I'm gonna do

K-k-k-k-k-k-Katmandu

Really, really, really goin' to

If I ever get out of here

If I ever get out of here

If I ever get out of here

I'm goin' to Katmandu

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh, yeah yeah

{Outro}

Katmandu, Katmandu

Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na
