Lyrics
An old Austrian went climbing on a mountain so high, HI When along came an avalanche interrupting his climb. Oh la ti Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish) Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish) Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish) Oh la ti tia - OH An old Austrian went climbing on a mountain so high, HI When along came an grizzly bear interrupting his climb. Oh la ti Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish, grrr) Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish, grrr) Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish, grrr) Oh la ti tia - OH An old Austrian went von a mountain so high, HI When along came a bull cow interrupting his climb. Oh la ti Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish, grrr, moo) Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish, grrr, moo) Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish, grrr, moo) Oh la ti tia - OH An old Austrian went climbing on a mountain so high, HI When along came a swiss miss interrupting his climb. Oh la ti Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish, grrr, moo, smooch) Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish, grrr, moo, smooch) Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish, grrr, moo, smooch) Oh la ti tia - OH An old Austrian went climbing on a mountain so high, HI When along came her father interrupting his climb. Oh la ti Oh la ti tia, oh la ti to (swish, grrr, moo, pow)!
