C.T. Mukpo's Open Heart Club Clan

(With a tip of the hat to Sgt. Pepper!)

It was twenty years ago today,

having shown us how to work and play,

how to comb our hair and change our style,

and eventually how to smile,

he left on our own to do

the act we've worked on all these years:

C.T. Mukpo's Open Heart Club Clan

We're C.T. Mukpo's Open Heart Club Clan,

We're learning to enjoy the show

We're C.T. Mukpo's Open Heart Club Clan

Sit down, wake up, and then let go

C.T. Mukpo's Open, C.T. Mukpo's Open,

C.T. Mukpo's Open Heart Club Clan

We sit and try to be here

Our minds aren't always still

Sometimes we can't wait for the gong

and oryoki takes so long

we wish we were at home!

But we know wherever we may go

and whatever we may think we know

that the guru's never very far

if we know our minds for what they are

We're glad he introduced us to

the path of gentle joy and tears

We're C.T. Mukpo's Open Heart Club Clan 

We're C.T. Mukpo's Open Heart Club Clan,

we like to shout Ki Ki So So

We're C.T. Mukpo's Open Heart Club Clan

we're raising windhorse as we go

C.T. Mukpo's Open, C.T. Mukpo's Open

C.T. Mukpo's Open Heart Club Clan

We're C.T. Mukpo's Open Heart Club Clan,

we hope you have enjoyed our song

We're C.T. Mukpo's no more mopin' Open Heart Club Clan

and now we hope you'll come along

We're C.T. Mukpo's Open, C.T. Mukpo's Open

C.T. Mukpo's Open Heart Club Clan
