Schwa Lyrics

The Yodeling Song

Lyricist: Traditional
Vocalist: Cliff Starbuck

The first time you stole flowers from the grave 
Then, the second time, you shaved your head, you had been saved 
By the very friendly, Jesus man 
And all he said, "Well, I'm your brother, man" 

In the winter time you - you wore patch-work hard-me-downs 
In the summer time - you were all bronzed, while I was brown 
And they didn't ask you where you got the candy 
No, they didn't ask you where you got the tan 

In the morning time - we played travels in the sea 
In the evening time - we had reduced the sea to me 
But your mother saved us - from your daddy's hand 
Yeah - your mother saved us - from your daddy's hand 
From your daddy 
From your daddy 

With my adult mind - 
You know my body feels so strange 
If they'd only sign away my life to me 
I could be much saner 
If they'd only learn to let me 
Freedom seek 
The world would be less mean 
But they never know - how to let you go 
But they never know - how to leace me 

Yodel - ee 
Yod - el - ee
