[Chorus:]
Ole, oleanna. Ole, oleanna. Ole, ole, ole, ole, ole, oleanna.


Climbing up the Matterhorn, all alone as I could be, I reached the top, I forced
a stop and heard this mystic melody.


[Chorus]


On an island in the ocean, not a human soul around, as I searched for bread and
water, once again I heard this sound.


[Chorus]

My plane had all its motors gone. The wings would never keep me up.

I heard a voice that seemed to say, "Now, let's take it from the top.

[Chorus]


I was tramping through the Congo when the Mau Mau tribe appeared
And their native chant was haunting, just the sound that I had feared.


[Chorus]


While rocketing into space, I found myself upon the moon. An ectoplasm greeting
me with, "Have you heard the latest tune?"


[Chorus]

My ship was sinking in the water, so I sent an S.O.S. and I waited for an

answer, you don't even have to guess.
Came a voice so calm and cheerful, just as cheerful as can be, said, "According
to our survey, now the song is number three!"


[Chorus 2x]
