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)
