Lyrics
Listen, my children, and you will tingle
To the pleasant old story of Grandfather Kringle
Grandfather Kringle lives where it is cold
High up in the mountain and never grows old
When Christmas bells ring, he sings, "Yodel-di-aye"
If you listen, you'll hear him on Christmas Day
With a hi-yodel, di-yodel, hi-yodel-lo
From the tops of the mountains to the valleys below
You'll hear sleigh bells jingle and a "Yodel-di-aye"
Of Grandfather Kringle on Christmas Day
Grandfather Kringle is jolly and fat
He wears a green coat and a red feathered hat
When Christmas is near, you'll hear, "Yodel-di-aye"
As he packs up his presents for Christmas Day
With a hi-yodel, di-yodel, hi-yodel-lo
From the tops of the mountains to the valleys below
You'll hear sleigh bells jingle and a "Yodel-di-aye"
Of Grandfather Kringle on Christmas Day
There's a gift in his bundle for each girl and boy
For he knows just exactly what toys they'll enjoy
And it seems in their dreams they hear, "Yodel-di-aye"
As he brings them their presents for Christmas Day
With a hi-yodel, di-yodel, hi-yodel-lo
From the tops of the mountains to the valleys below
You'll hear sleigh bells jingle and a "Yodel-di-aye"
Of Grandfather Kringle on Christmas Day
When they wake in the morning, they'll look all around
And Grandfather Kringle is not to be found
But high in the mountain, there's, "Yodel-di-aye"
Of Grandfather Kringle on Christmas Day
With a hi-yodel, di-yodel, hi-yodel-lo
From the tops of the mountains to the valleys below
You'll hear sleigh bells jingle and a "Yodel-di-aye"
Of Grandfather Kringle on Christmas Day
