High on a mountain a man sat a-countin' all the rocks he had found the day he lived all alone in his rock domed home gettin'-rocks was all he craved they said he was lazy and just too crazy to face the world outside but they didn't know all his rocks were gold and Herman was the richest little man around
Herman the hermit had to get a permit
to get his large stuff cut
pretty girls scared him never went near him
but one day on a mountain high
along came a creature with a lot of pretty features and made old Herman kisses rocks goodbye and made ol' Herman kiss his rocks goodbye guitar interlude
piano solo
she carried him to town just to show him around and dressed him in the latest craze while he clipped his hair, you know, she slipped downstairs and had them rocks appraised When she was told they were solid gold the wheels started spinning around the morning paper read: "Ole Herman dropped dead" and now she's the richest little woman in town.
