That Yodeling Rag 1910

Listen, Mister Lover,
if you want to capture me,
don't begin to sing
about the dancers of Paree,
I've got Machiche,
right within reach,
La Sorrella any feller
knows just how to teach,
Grab me round the waist
and see how close I am going to cling.
Dance me up the mountain side
and let me hear you sing
Like an Aeolian,
something tyrolian
Yodle for me,
Yodle for me,
Keep a Yodeling.

Let's do the yodeling rag,
make it a Schweitzer zigzag,
Sing a little syncopated Tyrolese,
Yodle please,
Love your little dove a little
kiss me and cuddle and tease.
Give me a Switzerland squeeze,
If you kiss me once,
you're going to kiss me twice
I know it's awf'ly naughty
but it's awf'ly nice
Baby dear, Cuddle near,
I get queer when I hear,
That Yodeling Rag!

Let's do the yodeling rag,
make it a Schweitzer zigzag,
Sing a little syncopated Tyrolese,
Yodle please,
Love your little dove a little
kiss me and cuddle and tease.
Give me a Switzerland squeeze,
If you kiss me once,
you're going to kiss me twice
I know it's awf'ly naughty
but it's awf'ly nice
Baby dear, Cuddle near,
I get queer when I hear,
That Yodeling Rag!

Don't you do the dances
from the dreamy Orient,
Don't you do the dances
full of southern sentiment,
Beedle um bo,
that's how they go,
Leave them in the jungle
in their little bungalow,
Hunt me like an Indian
when he dances after scalps,
Chase me up a mountain
till I think I'm in the Alps
Just tie a rope on me,
Cheer up the hope in me
Yodle for me,
Yodle for me,
Keep a Yodeling.

Let's do the yodeling rag,
make it a Schweitzer zigzag,
Sing a little syncopated Tyrolese,
Yodle please,
Love your little dove a little
kiss me and cuddle and tease.
Give me a Switzerland squeeze,
If you kiss me once,
you're going to kiss me twice
I know it's awf'ly naughty
but it's awf'ly nice
Baby dear, Cuddle near,
I get queer when I hear,
That Yodeling Rag!

Let's do the yodeling rag,
make it a Schweitzer zigzag,

Love your little dove a little

you're going to kiss me twice
I know it's awf'ly naughty
but it's awf'ly nice
Baby dear, Cuddle near,
I get queer when I hear,
That Yodeling Rag!
