Oleanna

H. Geller/M. Seligson



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 twice)
