Best Lost Party

Martyr packed a red umbrella, Tony brought a wooden spoon.

They caught the last blue mountain bus and promised they'd be back by noon

At the pass the driver shouted, your ticket says the valley fair

Marta checked her code and laughed, the ticket wasn't anywhere

So they traded jokes for breadcrumbs, follow bells across the hill

Every turn became a doorway, every doorway stood still

We lost the way, but found a party in the hay

Yodel, oh, the lanterns swing, everybody jump and sing

Yodel, leave from dusk till dawn, modest boom became a gong

Yodel, ah, the tale is true, the mountain dance with me and you

Yodel

There was Bruno in a feather hat

Selling pies beside the stream

He said the mayor needs a marching band

Then handed Tony a tambourine

A goat escaped the village square

And let the parade uphill

The mayor chased it wearing slippers

While the moon climbed past the mill

Then the clouds rolled open wider

And the whole town filled the air

With a hundred crooked yodels

And a thousand hands up their yodel-ay

We lost the way, but found a party in the hay

Yodel-oh, the lanterns swing, everybody jump and sing

Yodel-ee, from dusk till dawn, Marta's spoon became a gong

Yodel-ah, the tale is true, the mountain dance with me and you

Who brought the umbrella?

Marta!

Who rang the spoon?

Tony!

Who stole the mayor's slippers?

That goat beneath the moon!

We found the way, by following, by following

The loudest train, you're the Lord

The rooftops ring, every little bell can sing

Mmm, yodel-ee, the night is new, save a dance for one more crew

Yodel-ah, when morning comes, we'll take the bus with beating drums

Yodel-ay, yodel-ay, yodel-ay, yodel-ay, yodel-ay, yodel-ay

Yodel-ay, yodel-ay, round the mountain off we go

Yodel-ee, yodel-ay, there's no spot in here and far

Thanks for watching!
