Key:
Y - yodel
Ly - long yodel
Rly - really long yodel
Up on a mountain so gay and so free.. Huh 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 ringing... Y
Mockingbirds they're singing... Y
Hush, little lover... Y
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 ringing... Y
Mockingbirds they're singing... Y
Hush, little lover... Y
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 ringing... Y
Mockingbirds are singing... Y
Hush, little lover... Y
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 ringing... Y
Mockingbirds are singing... Y
Hush, little lover... Y
Up on a summer's eve...
