The Austrian Went Yodeling
| Tune: | Traditional |
|---|---|
| Category: | Do As I Do |
| Notes: | A cumulative song. Each verse adds a new thing that interrupts the yodeler, and its sound and motion are added to the chorus in front of the ones before. Avalanche: roll your hands and say "rumble rumble." Skier: swing your arms and say "swish swish." St. Bernard: pant and say "arf arf." Grizzly bear: claws up and "grrr grrr." Milkmaid: milk the cow and say "squirt squirt." The words vary from camp to camp. |
