Lyrics
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)
