Once an Austrian

Lyrics:
Once an Austrian went yodelling 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) (x3)
Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah-ho.

Once … skier interrupting his cry.

Ho-li-ah Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah, Ho-le-rah-cuckoo,

(Swoosh, Rumble, Rumble) (x3)

Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah-ho.

Once … St. Bernard interrupting his cry.

Ho-li-ah Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah, Ho-le-rah-cuckoo,
(Woof, woof, Swoosh, Rumble, Rumble) (x3)

Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah-ho.

Once … grizzly bear interrupting his cry.

Ho-li-ah Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah, Ho-le-rah-cuckoo,

(Grr, Arf, Arf, Swoosh, Rumble, Rumble) (x3)

Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah-ho.

Once… milking maid interrupting his cry.

Ho-li-ah Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah, Ho-le-rah-cuckoo,

(Tss, Tss, Grr, Arf, Arf, Swoosh, Rumble, Rumble) (x3)

Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah-ho.

Once… pretty girl interrupting his cry.
Ho-li-ah Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah, Ho-le-rah-cuckoo,

(Smack, Smack, Tss, Tss, Grr, Arf, Arf, Swoosh, Rumble, Rumble) (x3)
