Key:
Y - yodel
Ly - long yodel
Rly - really long yodel

Up on a mountain so gay and so freehuh huh
There is a young man and he’s waiting there for me
Out on the lake, we’ll drift with the tide
And hear those chime bells ring

Chime bells are ringingy
Mockingbirds they’re singingy
Hush, little lovery
Up on a summer’s eve or eave
Ly

Moonbeams were shining as I kissed him there (kiss)
Nightbirds were singing and darkness filled the air
Each little star that twinkled above
Was heaven that smiled on our love

Chime bells are ringingy
Mockingbirds they’re singingy
Hush, little lovery
Up on a summer’s eve
Rly
Rly (faster)
Should I go faster?
Rly (even faster)
Rly (faster still, usually a capella)
(by this time your eyes are bulging)
Ly

* chime bells (y=yodeling) *

Up on a mountain so gay and so free
There is a young man and he’s waiting there for me
Out on the lake, we’ll drift with the tide
And hear those chime bells ring
Chime bells are ringingy
Mockingbirds are singingy
Hush, little lovery
Up on a summer’s eve or eave

Moonbeams were shining as I kissed him there(swack)
Nightbirds were singing and perfume filled the air
Each little star that twinkled above
Was heaven that smiled on our love
Chime bells are ringingy
Mockingbirds are singingy
Hush, little lovery
Up on a summer’s eve
