A little yodeling song
|
for my man Yo
|
And I know that Yo don't know
|
That I wrote this song a late one night
|
He'd heard me yodeling down at Hobo Gin's
|
And we were hanging out at the Putter Inn
|
He was beggin me to yodel
|
And Oh Yo he wasn't half the type
|
He held out his hand
|
I said "What's your name?"
|
And he said "Yo"
|
So I asked him again
|
And he said "Yo" again
|
So I figured it must be his name
|
Well I was having some perculiar thoughts
|
But you can't say much with a name like Atz
|
So I settled back
|
Tried to figure out Yo-yo's game
|
Now Yo was sailin three sheets of the wind
|
With a frozen stare
|
And an ear-to-ear grin
|
He kept beggin me to yodel, sayin
|
"G-gget up there and yodel with the band"
|
It was my good friend Rod with a hired gun
|
So I stepped up to have a little bit of fun
|
With the lead, and the bass and the drummer and the rhythm man
|
Now Yo he staggered right up to the stage
|
He had this angelic smile on his face
|
That sucker looked like he floated up to heaven and he died
|
While I never had a fan quite like Yo before
|
He stood there mesmerized on the floor
|
He started stompin and clappin when he heard my yodeling cry
|
|
(chorus)
|
And I said
|
*Yo This yodeling song's for you
|
No matter where you go
|
No matter what you do
|
Remember that time spent yodeling's time well spent
|
I've never had myself a fan club before
|
But Yo don't you know that one thing's for sure
|
If I do I'll make you my fan club president
|
|
And I said
|
*(Yodel)
|
|
|
Well when I got through
|
I said "There you go Yo"
|
And he was still smiling but his eyes were still closed
|
And I thought I was going to get away from him
|
But then he opened them wide and said
|
"I-II want to hear some more"
|
Well I was wearing out my welcome and I was running out of time
|
But I decided that I'd yodel up another line
|
Cause I thought it was the only way I could get Yo off the floor
|
Then I got to thinking
|
I realized
|
Suddenly I realized
|
Why old Yo liked yodeling
|
Because everytime I yodeled I was saying Yo's name
|
Well then I got to thinking it probably wouldn't work too well
|
In fact it downright sounds like hell
|
If you ever try to yodel using anybody elses name
|
|
Try Inga
|
*Inga-lay (etc.)
|
|
See what I mean It just doesn't work
|
|
So In this whole wide world
|
No matter where I go
|
One thing I've learned
|
I've finally know
|
I'll never yodel again if there's anyone in the audience named Yo
|
|
And I said
|
*Yo This yodeling song's for you
|
No matter where you go
|
No matter what you do
|
Remember that time spent yodeling's time well spent
|
I've never had myself a fan club before
|
But Yo don't you know that one thing's for sure
|
If I do I'll make you my fan club president
|
|
And I said
|
*(Yodel)
|
(long yodel)
