Tonight I’m out camping
Enjoying the dark
There are so many stars
Here in Yellowstone National Park
I think I see my home galaxy
Far away in the sky
Because locals here gave
Turning off lights a try
Under skies black and dark blue
I pose one question to you
Name each state this park occupies
Of which there are three
Then it will be no surprise
You’ve won Where could I bee

I’m in a Cambodian temple
Around 900 years of age
Surrounded by jungle
It sets a beautiful stage
It was built in honor
Of a Hindu king
And the name of this temple
Is what you must bring
Without hesitation
And give it to me
If you want to win
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
