| Lyrics: | I love to go a-wandering, Along the mountain track, And as I go, I love to sing, My knapsack on my back. Chorus: Val-deri, Val-dera, Val-deri, Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Val-deri, Val-dera. My knapsack on my back. I love to wander by the stream That dances in the sun, So joyously it calls to me, "Come! Join my happy song!" -Chorus I wave my hat to all I meet, And they wave back to me, And blackbirds call so loud and sweet From ev'ry green wood tree. -Chorus High overhead, the skylarks wing, They never rest at home But just like me, they love to sing, As o'er the world we roam. -Chorus Oh, may I go a-wandering Until the day I die! Oh, may I always laugh and sing, Beneath God's clear blue sky! -Chorus I love to go a-gorging Amid great gobs of food, And as I do my abdomen Continues to protrude. Calorie, calorah, Calorie, calorah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Calorie, calorah, My body is obese. Italian food with all its cheese And thick tomato paste, It never seems to pass on through But hangs around my waist. French cuisine inspires me To even greater heights. An eight-course meal is quickly done In seven standard bites. A German meal is all I need To make my day complete. It's hard to keep account of all The strudel that I eat. At hot dog stands and burger joints To make my power play, They bring it in a wheelbarrow Instead of in a tray. |
