Tonight I’m out camping
Enjoying the dark
There are so many stars
Here in Yellowstone National Park

Of which there are three
Then it will be no surprise
You’ve won Where could I bee

Where I am now
Is more “Chile” than cold
Although the degrees
Are about 30 below
In this place there is very little rainfall
And of Earth’s deserts,
It’s the driest of all
Tell me the name
Of this warm and dry land
And “Where Could I Bee?”
Will fall into your hand
