Double Yodel
(Lou & Peter Berryman, ©1995)
 

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 chaparral without a chaperone
But additionally it seems to be enhancing
All the thousand things we used to do alone
Like when I sneeze I have a guy to say gesundheit
Changing a fuse I have a gal to hold the flashlight
But of all these the one that made my pleasure total
Is that I found I have a pal to help me yodel

Chorus:
Yodeladay (ee) tee oh
Yodelay (ee) tee oh (oo)
We yodel along the trail all day
Yodeladay (ee) Yodelay (ee)
Yo (del) ay (ee) Yo (del) ay (ee)
In an easy double vocal yodel way


Saturday night when we confuse the palomino
Taking the long romantic way to the casino
Riding along we share a jug of amaretto
And after I sing a bit of bass (I sing falsetto)

Lucky we are 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 that yokel is a couple
