The Tower of Learning Lyrics

This song is so thrilling when it gets to the "All the sights of Paris," I agree!

I think that copious is such an unusual word to use in that sentence. For a long time I thought I must have heard it wrong.

I really love this song. I think one of my favorite things about it is the low backup singing voices in between the verses. It reminds me of monks singing, yet sounds really beautiful.
