Lyrics
(Austrian folk song)
Once an Austrian went yodeling on a mountain so high,
When he met with (1) an avalanche interrupting his cry.
Refrain
Ho-lee-ah,
Ho-leh-rah-hee-hee-ah,
Ho-leh-rah cuckoo,
spoken (1) rumble rumble
Ho-leh-rah-hee-hee-ah,
Ho-leh-rah cuckoo,
spoken (1) rumble rumble
Ho-leh-rah-hee-hee-ah,
Ho-leh-rah cuckoo,
spoken (1) rumble rumble
Ho-leh-rah-hee-hee-ah-ho.
Once an Austrian went yodeling on a mountain so high,
When he met with (2) a skier interrupting his cry.
Refrain…
