Deutschland
So many countries
der Deutsche die Deutsche
So viele Nationalitäten

All meant for memorization
Großbritannien
as if
der Brite die Britin
students are
Schottland
Robots
der Schotte die Schottin

But hey
die Schweiz
at least
der Schweizer die Schweizerin
I now know
Luxemburg
them all
der Luxemburger die Luxemburgerin
in German.

High in the mountains of Switzerland
refrain: Yodelayheeho, yodelayheehey
I found a man I can't withstand
refr.

He is a big cheese in der Schweiz
refr.
Produces Emmental with eyes
refr.

Amidst our stroll he urges me
refr.
You soon must meet my family
refr.

The nicest kids you've ever seen
refr.
I have a bunch of seventeen
refr.

I think potentially of a score
refr.
So I would love a couple more
refr.

Thus caught out in naïveté
refr.
I answered him without delay
refr.

I'd love a bunch of any size
refr.
But hesitate on cheese with eyes
refr.

You gave me eyes, but I confess
refr.
Not every girl is a cheese princess
refr.

I hence went quietly my way
refr.
And have kept silent from that day
refr.

I do not want that this surprise
refr.
Will be known im ganzen Schweiz
refrain: Yodelayheehey, yodelayheeho!
