Double Yodel

As Sung By Judy Cook

I was once a lonesome Cowboy, ask my cattle.
I was once a cowgirl, incomplete and blue
'til the roundup when we came to share a saddle
Now we do all of the things that sidekicks do

Plus not only does romancing go with dancing
On the chapparal without a chaperone
But additionally, it seems to be enhancing
All the thousand things e used to do alone

Like when I sneeze, I have a guy to say Gezeuntheit
Changing a fuse, I have a gal to hold the flashlight
But of all these the one that makes my pleasure total
Is that I find I have a pal to help me yodel

Yodel-a-day ee ti o, yodel a ee ti o, oo
I yodel along the trail all day
Yodel a day ee, yodel a to, yodel a ti, yodel a ti
In an easy, double vocal yodel way

Saturday night when we confuse the palomino
Taking the long, romantic way to the casion
Riding along, we share a jug of amaretto
And after I sing a line of base, I sing falsetto

Yodel-a-day ee ti o, yodel a ee ti o, oo
I yodel along the trail all day
Yodel a day ee, yodel a to, yodel a ti, yodel a ti
In an easy, double vocal yodel way

Yodel ti, yodel ti, yodel ti, yodel ti
Yodel ti, yodel ti, yodel ti, yodel ti
Yodel ti, yodel ti, yodel ti yodel ti,
Yodel ti, yodel ti, yodel ti, yodel ti
Yodel ti, yodel ti, yodel ti, yodel ti
Yodel ti, yodel ti, yodel ti
In an easy, double vocal yodel way

Lucky are we to have each other for assistance
For when the locals hear us yodel in the distance
And when they say, “That yokel’s vocal cords are supple”
They’d be surprised to find the yokel is a couple

Yodel-a-day ee ti o, yodel a ee ti o, oo
I yodel along the trail all day
Yodel a day ee, yodel a to, yodel a ti, yodel a ti
In an easy, double vocal yodel way
