| Up on the top of a snow-covered mountain | 
| There lived an Alpine miss | 
| And oh, what a sweet little miss was this | 
| We mean this little Swiss miss | 
| While down in the valley below (Ho-ho) | 
| Lived a boy who loved her so (Ho-ho) | 
| He loved her with all his might | 
| He loved her day and night | 
| And every night just to see this miss | 
| He used to risk his scalp | 
| For the house where she lived was away up high | 
| And the poor guy didn’t know how to fly | 
| So he jumped from alp to alp | 
| What a chump (What a chump) | 
| To jump (To jump) | 
| From alp to alp | 
| And then beneath her balcony | 
| He used to stand around and try to make a hit with her | 
| And he would yodel, «O-lay-eee-tee» | 
| That’s the Swiss idea of a melody | 
| And oh, what a yodeling fool was he | 
| He shook a wicked yodel | 
| And one night as he stood there | 
| The lights were very dim | 
| While leaning out too far across her balcony | 
| She fell for him | 
| He sat with his arms around her | 
| Until the night was gone | 
| And here’s the way they carried on | 
| He said, «Dear I think you’re just as sweet as you can be | 
| You’re like a cake of sweet Swiss chocolate to me» | 
| She said, «Oh, my loving one, your talk I can’t resist | 
| I hope you’re as steady as the Swiss watch ticking on your wrist» | 
| He said, «How I yearn for you, I burn for you, I do! | 
| I do! | 
| Oh, lady, oh, I swear it on my knees | 
| My love for you is just as strong as a piece of Sweitzer cheese» |
