Everyone slaps their thighs,
clap their hands, and then click fingers in time
to the music, and mimes as each new "character" appears
in the story.
An Austrian went
yodelling on a mountaintop high,
When along came an avalanche interrupting his cry:
Yo -oh -oh.....
Yo - del - ay - dee,
Yo - del - ay - dee (ssh-ssh)
Yo - del - ay - dee,
Yo - del - ay - dee (ssh-ssh)
Yo - del - ay - dee,
Yo - del - ay - dee - Yo!
To follow the Avalanche, he is interrupted
by, in turn,
Grizzly Bear
(grr-grr)
Puppy Dog (pant-pant)
Pussy Cat (meow-meow)
Jersey cow
(squirt-squirt)
and his Sweetheart
(kiss-kiss)
- each is ADDED to the previous
verse so the list gets longer, until the penultimate verse is
An Austrian went
yodelling on a mountaintop high,
When along came his Sweetheart interrupting his cry:
Yo -oh -oh.....
Yo - del - ay - dee,
Yo - del - ay - dee ( kiss-kiss, squirt-squirt, meow-meow, pant-pant,
grr-grr, ssh, ssh!)
Yo - del
- ay - dee,
Yo - del - ay - dee ( kiss-kiss, squirt-squirt, meow-meow, pant-pant,
grr-grr, ssh, ssh!)
Yo - del - ay - dee,
Yo - del - ay - dee - Yo!
and the last verse goes
An Austrian went
yodelling on a mountaintop high,
When along came her father interrupting his cry:
Yo - oh - oh.....
Yo - del - ay - dee,
Yo - del - ay - dee (BANG!!!)
