Tip Top TowerA Poem by Andy RuffettA climb up the Eiffel Tower
Previous Version This is a previous version of Tip Top Tower. Tip, top, Let’s go to the
top of the tower Tip top, Let’s go to the
top of the tower Where women and
men all strive for the power Tip, top, Let’s go to the
top of the tower Tip, top, Let’s go to the
top of the tower Tip, top, Let’s go to the
top of the tower It’s open all
day, you climb by the hour Tip, top, Let’s go to the
top of the tower Step, step, We’re heading up
to the top of the tower Step, step, We’re heading up
to the top of the tower We climb up the
steps to show we’re not cowards Step, step, We’re heading up
to the top of the tower Step, shake, We’re pretty
high up on the tower Step, shake, Wow, this is a
pretty tall tower But we’ll keep
walking up because heights are no matter Step, shake, Let’s keep
heading up that tower Step, trip, I missed a step
of the tower Step, trip, It’s probably
because I’m a little bit tired But no matter,
I’m fine, let’s move up that tower Step, trip, It’s okay, I’m a little bit tired Step, stop, We’re almost at
the top of the tower Step, stop, Just let me
rest, we’ve been walking for hours We’re almost
there I can feel it, can’t you? Step, stop, just
let me rest for a while Step, gasp, Wow, we’re at
the top of the tower Step, gasp If my legs
weren’t shaking, I’d stand here for hours We made it all
the way up and I’m in desperate need of a shower Step, gasp, Man, what a
beautiful tower Step, step,
shake, What was that,
the wind or the tower? Step, step,
shake, Well it can’t
fall down, it’s been standing for years But maybe I’m
thinking we should head down the tower Step, step,
shake, Wow, but
seriously, it can’t be the tower Run, step, step, We’re almost at
the bottom Run, step, step, I slipped down
on my bottom And now my back
is shot and this is a problem Run step, step, I need to reach
the bottom Hobble, step,
hobble, I can see the
ground Hobble, step,
hobble, This pain is
unbearable But at least now
we can say that we tackled That damn stupid
