(Yodel:) Ho-la-la-ee-ay Ho-la-la-ee-ay Ho-la-la-ee-ay-ee-la-ee-ay-ee-lee-ay Ho-la-la-ee-ay Ho-la-la-ee-ay Ho-la-la-ee-ay-ee-la-lee-ay-lee-o-lee-ay (repeat) I'd like to dance and tap my feet But they won't keep in rhythm You see, I washed them both today And I can't do nothing with 'em (Chorus) Ho hum the tune is dumb The words don't mean a thing Isn't this a silly song For anyone to sing? I chased a polecat up a tree Way out on upon a limb And when he got the best of me I got the worst of him (Chorus) (Yodel, etc.)
