Climbing up the Matterhorn

All alone as I could be

I reached the top, I forced a stop

I heard this mystic melody

On an island in the ocean
F C
Not a human soul around
Dm C
As I searched for bread and water
G C
Once again I heard this sound

C
My plane had all its motors gone
F C
The wings would never keep me up
Dm C
I heard a voice that seemed to say

"Now, let's take it from the top"

I was tramping through the Congo
F C
When the Mau Mau tribe appeared
Dm C
And their native chant was haunting
G C
Just the sound that I had feared

While rocketing one day in space
F C
I found myself upon the moon
Dm C
An ectoplasm greeted me with
G C
"Have you heard the latest tune?"

F C
Ole, oleanna

Ole, ole, ole, ole
G C

C
My ship was sinking in the water
F C
So I sent an S.O.S.
Dm C
And I waited for an answer
G C
You don't even have to guess
[Verse]
C
Came a voice so calm and cheerful
F C
Just as cheerful as can be
Dm C
Said, "According to our survey
G C
Now the song is number three"

OTHER WORDS
Oh, to be an Oleana, that is where I’d like to be,
then he bound in Norway and dragged the chain of slavery.
In Oleana land is free, the wheat and corn just plant themselves.
Then grow a good 4 feet a day while on your bed you rest yourself.
Beer as sweet as Munich springs from the ground and flows away.
The cows all like to milk themselves and the hens lay 10 times a day.
Little roasted piggies rush about the city streets.
Lingering so politely if a slice of ham you’d like to eat.
Aye, if you’d begin to live in Oleana, you must go.
The poorest wretch in Norway becomes a duke in a year or so.
