Yodel Song

From 'Sir Oliver's Song' (1:07)
(Can be purchased with full CD)


Verse 1:
Once there was
A naughty boy named Johan
Skip his chores
Und said he wouldn't do them

Man was made to do his best
Work six days and then to rest
So his mama firmly said
"Dis cannot be so"

Chorus:
In a cheery way
Work is always play
Yodel-e, yodel-o, yodel-a
With a happy tune work is finished soon
Yodel-e, yodel-o, yodel-a

Verse 2:
Work too slow
Und all will see you're lazy
Work too hard
Then some will think you're crazy

Man was made to do his best
Work six days und then to rest
"Do you understand my son?"
Johan said "ya, ya"

Chorus:
In a cheery way
Work is always play
Yodel-e, yodel-o, yodel-a
With a happy tune work is finished soon
Yodel-e, yodel-o, yodel-a

(Yodeling)

Verse 3:
Johan found
That work could be a pleasure
Then he rest
Und worship in his leisure

Man was made to do his best
Work six days and then to rest
His dear mama said "Good boy,
Now take a holiday!"

Chorus:
In a cheery way
Work is always play
Yodel-e, yodel-o, yodel-a
With a happy tune work is finished soon
Yodel-e, Yodel-o, Yodel-a
