“Father Christmas Showed Me How to Yodel” is an original song by Greg and Colin. It’s one of the few songs on the Aussie Christmas albums that is not Australian-related, instead telling a humourous tale about Santa and his elves yodelling as they work.
This song originated from Bucko & Champs –...
[Verse 1]
I took a trip to the North Pole
'Cause I heard they love to sing
I heard that Santa and his elves
Love to go a-yodelling
I found them in the toy factory
Singing all the while
And I asked them to show me
Their special yodelling style!
[Chrous]
Father Christmas showed me how to yodel-ey-he-hoo
Yodel-ey-he-hoo
Yodel-ey-he-hoo-do-do-do-do
They sang Merry Christmas with a yodel-ey-he-hoo
Yodel-ey-he-hoo and a Happy New Year to you!
[Verse 2]
They sang Summertime Blues
And they yodelled Jailhouse Rock
They knew all of Blue Suede Shoes
And Rock Around The Clock
He could croon a gentle ballad
He could really sing the blues
But boy, you should have heard him sing
His yodel-ey-he-hoos!
[Chrous]
Father Christmas showed me how to yodel-ey-he-hoo
Yodel-ey-he-hoo
Yodel-ey-he-hoo-do-do-do-do
They sang Merry Christmas with a yodel-ey-he-hoo
Yodel-ey-he-hoo and a Happy New Year to you!
[Verse 3]
They yodelled Jingle Bells
And they yodelled Deck the Halls
Frank Ifield, Mary Schneider
Man they knew them all
Swiss yodels, Aussie yodels
Bush ballads too
They sang all their yodels with
A yodel-ey-hee-hoo!
[Chrous]
Father Christmas showed me how to yodel-ey-he-hoo
Yodel-ey-he-hoo
Yodel-ey-he-hoo-do-do-do-do
They sang Merry Christmas with a yodel-ey-he-hoo
Yodel-ey-he-hoo and a Happy New Year to you!
[Verse 4]
But Santa really knocked me out
And blew the elves away
When he started yodelling stuff
That he'd heard on Triple J
He did Regurgitator
And a bit of Silverchair
He stage-dived in the mosh pit
There was yodel everywhere!
[Chrous]
Father Christmas showed me how to yodel-ey-he-hoo
Yodel-ey-he-hoo
Yodel-ey-he-hoo-do-do-do-do
They sang Merry Christmas with a yodel-ey-he-hoo
Yodel-ey-he-hoo and a Happy New Year to you...
Yodel-ey-he-hoo and a Happy New Year to you!
