Full Lyrics
How many miles to Babylon?
Threescoreandten.
Can I get there by candlelight?
Yes, and back again ...
With heels that are nimble and toes that are light,
You may get there by candlelight.
What shall I find in Babylon
After threescore miles and ten?
The gardens that shine by day and by night,
King Nebuchadnezzar with all of his men ...
And with heels that are nimble and toes that are light,
You may get there by candlelight.
["Candlelight" is dusk, when it was time to light the candles.]
