Come listen to my tale 'bout a pretty little girl 
                              Dsus2  
That I chanced to meet on the prairie 
        D 
T'was a night in June by the western moon 
                       A 
That I met my charming Mary 
Her eyes were as bright as the stars that night 
                             D 
When she smiled my heart did bubble 
    E        
She couldn't make love or turtle dove 
                       A 
But, oh boy, She Could Yodel. 
 
Chorus: (Yodel) 
  A      D       A  
Oodelaia Oolaio Oloadeolaite 
                                         E 
She yodeled a yodel as sweet as it could be 
    A                     
Her heart was as pure as pretty yellow gold 
    D 
But love meant nothin', she was too cold 
    E                                 A 
But boy, oh boy, oh boy How She Could Yodel. 
 
A 
Well, I said to myself, you silly little elf 
                           Dsus2 
I'll win her heart, that's settled 
  D 
I tried to hiss that pretty little miss 
                    A 
But, oh my, how she battled 
She called me names made me feel so ashamed 
                         D 
Then she said my fire is nobel 
         E 
Then she turned me down, didn't want me around 
                     A 
But, oh boy, how she yodeled. 
 
Chorus: (Yodel) 
  
     A 
Next night on the trail I heard a big wail 
                           Dsus2 
She changed her mind, felt sorry 
    D 
Her yodel, you see, was meant for me 
                         A 
And she said, you had me worried 
 
I've rode out tonight to make things right 
                            D 
And I hope you will forgive me 
       E 
When I said, why yes, she took a deep breath 
                     A 
And, oh boy, how she yodeled. 
 
Chorus2: (Yodel) 
  A      D       A  
Oodelaia Oolaio Oloadeolaite 
                                         E 
She yodeled a yodel as sweet as it could be 
    A                     
Her heart was as pure as pretty yellow gold 
       D 
And it turned to warm from icy cold 
    E                               A 
But boy, oh boy, oh boy how she did yodel. 
 
A 
Well, then we got married and what do you think 
                                   Dsus2 
We're as happy as the birds in the treeses 
    D 
Her love is so true and I'm tellin' you 
                     A 
Her heart no more it freezes 
In a cradle of pine there's a baby devine 
                    D 
And he never, never grumbles 
         E 
He's our own little pet and we can't talk yet 
                              A 
But I wish you could hear him yodel. 
 
 
Chorus: (Yodel) 
  A      D       A  
Oodelaia Oolaio Oloadeolaite 
                                       E 
He yodels a yodel as sweet as it could be 
         A 
He's our own little pet and we love him, you bet 
   D        
It don't mean a thing that he can't talk yet 
         E                                          A 
But he's spendin' his time just learning the way to yodel.
