I think I'm goin' to Katmandu
That's really, really where I'm going 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 going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin to Katmandu

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've been there it's been great
But now I'm leavin' and I can't be late
And to myself be true

That's why I'm goin' to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going 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 going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin to Katmandu

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've got nothing to lose
I'm tired of being blue

That's why I'm goin' to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do

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

I ain't got nothin' against 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

The one that's goin' to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going 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 I'm going 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, ow!

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh yeah

Katmandu, Katmandu, Katmandu, Katmandu
Katmandu, Katmandu, Katmandu, Katmandu
Katmandu, Katmandu, Katmandu, Katmandu
