Yodel-Lei-Hee-You
I trapped my yodel to you, in a conch shell
Then threw it in an ivory well
Yodel-lei-hee-you, what-did-I-do?
I made a wish to get it out
But the un-wishing well had no doubt
That in its arms, was where it should stay
With the rest of the shells I’ve yodeled away
I-keep-missing-you, yodel-lei-boo-hoo
I should be thankful an echo hasn’t escaped -
I can imagine the smirk it would put on your face
And I won’t give you that smug satisfaction
When all this is, is a delayed reaction
Yodel-lei-hee-smirk, you’re-a-cheating-jerk
Soon I’ll stop yodeling for you, and when I do,
I’ll seal the well of yodel-lei-hee-hell, and reinstitute
Forgetting you - yodel-lei-hee-who?
