Yodelin' Jive Lyrics

Since Jackson went over to Switzerland
The Alps haven't been the same
Since he started practicing yodelin'
He's on the road to fame
And back in the states, he really rates
As big as anyone could
And the headlines say
You know, the papers each day
"Yodel Boy Makes Good"

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
He sings his yodelin' jive, Yo-ho-ho-hodelin'jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The mountains echo his yodelin' jive

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The mountains echo his jive, yodelin' jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The mountains echo his jive all day

Sometimes he yodels so sweetly
To imitate the Swiss
Ohh leee o lay-dee
But the echo comes back like this

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The hills are always alive with yodelin' jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The mountains echo his yodelin' jive

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
They sing my yodelin' jive, the yodelin' jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
They sing my yodelin' jive all day

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de HOT-toy-toy-toy
The mountains echo my jive, my yodelin' jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de HOT-toy-toy-toy
The mountains echo my jive each day

Sometimes he yodels so, so sweetly
To imitate the Swiss
Ohh leee o lay-hee
But the echo comes back like this

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The hills are always alive with yodelin' jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The mountains echo my yodelin' jive

Sometimes he yodels so sweetly
To imitate the Swiss
Ohh leee o lay-hee
But the echo comes back like this

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The hills are always alive with yodelin' jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The mountains echo his yodelin' jive
