Now here’s to the Aussie yodellers; they are a unique breed.
                                               E
At styling the falsetto, they proudly took the lead.
                                                    A
Their voices rang with gaiety or the sadness of the blues.
                    E                   B7              E
And many youngsters learned to strum to follow in their shoes

The magic of Torrani, an Englishman of fame
                                                   E
And the yodelling of Goebel Reeves inspired Robert Lane
                                                       A
He hailed from New Zealand, but we claimed him and his name
                        E                B7             E    B7 E
For we knew him as ‘Tex Morton’ when the boundary rider came

Buddy Williams made his name as the 'Yodelling Jackaroo'
                                                     E
With music in his pony's feet, he'd croon a song for you
                                                A
Of white-faced cattle roaming and the Warwick Rodeo
                  E           B7             E

                                                     E
He gave so many performers their first show business start
                                                        A

                                                   E
But the ladies of Australia proved that wrong back when
                                                          A
June Holms sang 'Song of Queensland' and Joan of 'Nursery Rhymes'

And Versell with ‘Homeward Bound’, let his yodelling unfurl
                                                A
Ron Peters and Johnny Rivers sang those sweet refrains

                                                    E

They say that yodellings dying now, that yodelling is old hat
                                                     E
And the modern country singer should want no part of that
                                                           A
Then I listen to Wayne Horsburgh or the young man Owen Blundell
                      E            B7                E
And hear the audience cheering and watch the records sell
