Once an Austrian Went Yodeling

(note that there a lot of versions of this song!) 

Once an Austrian went yodeling on a mountain so high,

When he met with an avalanche,

Interrupting his cry.

Ho-li-ah, ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah

Ho-le-rah cuckoo ("rumble, rumble"),

Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah

Ho-le-rah cuckoo ("rumble, rumble"),

Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah

Ho-le-rah cuckoo ("rumble, rumble"),

Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah-ho.

Once an Austrian went yodeling

On a mountin so high,

When he met with a skier

Interrupting his cry.

Chorus:

Ho-li-ah

Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah

Ho-le-rah-cuckoo (3x)

(swoosh, rumble, rumble)

Ho-le-rah-hi-hia-ah-ho

Once an Austrian went yodeling

On a mountain so high,

When he met with a St. Bernard

Interrupting his cry.

Chorus (arf, arf, swoosh, rumble, rumble)

Once an Austrian went yodeling

On a mountain so high,

When he met with a Grizzly bear

Interrupting his cry

Chorus (grr, arf, arf, swoosh, rumble, rumble)

Once an Austrian went yodeling

On a mountain so high,

When he met with a milking maid

Interrupting his cry.

Chorus (tss, tss, grr, arf, arf, swoosh, rumble, rumble)

Once an Austrian went yodeling

On a mountain so high,

When he met with a pretty girl

Interrupting his cry.

Chorus (smack, smack, tss, tss, grr, arf, arf, swoosh, rumble, rumble)
