WEE SING - ONCE AN AUSTRIAN WENT YODELING Lyrics

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)

Motions:

Ho-li-ah - rapidly slap knees
Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah - slap knees, clap hands, snap fingers (continue throughout chorus)
rumble, rumble - roll hands over
swoosh - swoop hand downward
arf, arf, - hands up like dog begging
grrr - hands up like bear claws
tss, tss - pantomime milking cow
smack, smack - make kissing sound
