If I could travel back in time  
I'd go to 1899  
High in the Sierra Hills 
And ride the lumber down the Sanger flume  

The flume  
Ride the flume  
Ride the flume  
Ride the flume  
Watch out for that tree  

Forget log rides in amusement parks  
This one's 50 miles long  
Water slide with four foot sides  
Down the mountain, 60 miles an hour  

Drop through the Devil's Slide  
Four thousand feet in 13 miles  
Miss a curve, ya sail into space  
Hope them 2 x 4's don't break  

The flume  
Ride the flume  
Ride the flume  
Me and you  
Va-va-voom!  

Watch out for that tree  
Watch out for that tree!  

Around  
Around  
To the sides of the cliffs we cling  

The trestle creaks  
As we're swept across the canyon  
100 feet below  
Rickety timbers - please don't fail me now  

Oh no...  

Watch out for that tree  
Watch out for that tree  
Or its pine cone sex face first  
For you and me.
