The Austrian

Song

Well, an Austrian went yodeling

On a mountain top high.

When along came an avalanche

Interrupting his cry.

 

O, dear-y (pat knees fast)

Oh, (pat knees once) der-akee (clap hands once) deary (snap once),

Oh (pat knees once)  der-a (clap hands once)  kookoo (snap once)

SWISH! (slide hands from right to left)

Oh, (pat knees once) der-akee (clap hands once) deary (snap once),

Oh (pat knees once)  der-a (clap hands once)  kookoo (snap once)

SWISH! (slide hands from right to left)

Oh, (pat knees once) der-akee (clap hands once) deary (snap once),

Oh (pat knees once)  der-a (clap hands once)  kookoo (snap once)

SWISH! (slide hands from right to left)

Oh (pat knees once), der-akee (clap hands once) deary (snap once),

Ohhhh! (pat knees once)

 

(Add these in each time you repeat:)

 

When along came a:

Grizzly bear – GRRRR! (make hands into claws)

St. Bernard – Pant! Pant!  (hold hands up like paws)

Baby – WAAH!  WAAH!  (wipe eyes with fists)

Girl Scout – COOKIES!  (say sweetly with arms out)

Pretty Girl – kiss! kiss!  (kiss the air)

Her father – BANG!  (shoot an imaginary rifle - end of song)
