Yay dee lay ooh
Yay dee lay ooh

Yay dee lay ooh

Up on the top of a snow covered mountain
There lived an Alpine miss

And oh what a sweet little miss was this
We mean this little Swiss miss
While down in the valley below
Lived a boy who loved her so

He loved her with all his might
He loved her day and night

And every night just to see this miss
He used to risk his scalp

For the house where she lived was away up high
And the poor guy didn't know how to fly
So he jumped from alp to alp

What a chump What a chump
To jump To jump
From alp to alp

And then beneath her balcony
He used to stand around and try to make a hit with her
And he would yodel O lay eee tee
That's the Swiss idea of a melody
And oh what a yodeling fool was he
He shook a wicked yodel

And one night as he stood there

The lights were very dim

While leaning out too far across her balcony
She fell for him

He sat with his arms around her
Until the night was gone

And here's the way they carried on

He said Dear
I think you're just as sweet as you can be
You're like a cake of sweet Swiss chocolate to me
She said Oh my loving one your talk I can't resist
I hope you're as steady as the Swiss watch ticking on your wrist
He said How I yearn for you I burn for you I do I do
Oh lady oh I swear it on my knees
