I've seen the whole world
near and far, old and new
I never met anyone
quite like you
  or heard in the stories
  that I have been told
  of a girl in a tower that's lined with gold

rapunzel rapunzel
let down your long hair 'cause I
want to climb up your bright
golden stair
  and ascend to your balcony
  high in the air
  get more than a glimpse of what's
  hidden up there
  and feel the warm breath of
  your body so fair
  
you're weaving and braiding
your blonde hair all day
you've furnished your whole tower in
macrame'
  you must see the truth
  it just can't be ignored
  a single strand can't make a cord
  
so rapunzel rapunzel
let down your sweet hair and
come sit with me on your golden
easy chair
  and let me caress you
  and stroke your soft hair
  it may take me hours but I
  really don't care
  it's early and I've got some
  forever to spare

I know you're above me
so far out of reach
could you ever love me
so far beneath?
  I know that I don't deserve
  your sweet embrace
  but won't you just give me a taste?

ah, rapuznel rapunzel
lay down your sweet head
and let me take you to your
golden bed
  without you I don't know
  how I could survive
  won't you come with me?
  won't you please be my wife?
  I'll love you until the
  split ends of my life

you're so isolated
a pearl in a shell
a precious jewel hidden and
kept so well
  I promise I'll take you
  away from all this
  oh, I want so much more than a kiss

so rapunzel rapunzel
let down the long tresses
from which you've woven your
golden dress
  life is a question
  the answer is yes
  so give me the gift of your nakedness

<harmonica solo>

rapunzel rapunzel
let down your long hair
so I can climb down your bright
golden stair
  I can't tell you how much I
  wish I could stay
  I must be gone with the
  breaking of day
  but I promise I'll come back
  and take you
  away
