One time, a long time ago..on a mountain in Switzerland,

yoh, loh, loh, loh, loh..

there lived a fair young maiden..lovely but lonely,

yoh, hoh, hoh, hoh.

Chorus

Day after day, she'd pine her heart away,

yoh, loh, loh, loh, lay de yay, but no love came her way.

One day, her papa said..'Some day we'll go down to

 the village in the valley, then you'll meet a nice

 young man, who’ll ask for your hand, then you'll be happy.

Oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..

Ommp pah..oomp pah pah...pah pah pah..

Oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..

Ommp pah pah..oomp pah pah..pah pah pah..

But very day she grew unhappier, on a mountain in

Switzerland, yoh, loh, loh, loh, loh.

Every day a little bit lonelier..which way to turn

 and which way to go?

Chorus

Day after day, she'd pine her heart away,

yoh, loh, loh, loh, lay de yay, but no love came her way.

Some say the maiden's dream, never came true..

 she never got to go to the valley,

 if she did or not, I really don't know, whoa, hoh, hoh, hoh..

 did she die unhappy?

I'd rather think she found her love.

Wouldn't she be better if she did find love..?

somewhere, some way..yodel-ady-oh..yodel-ady-ay.
