IN THE ALPS
(Hans Carste / Mann Curtis)

as recorded by The McGuire Sisters
with Lawrence Welk & His Orchestra
1956


The air may be thinner
But love is so thick,
In the Alps, in the Alps, in the Alps.
They say each beginner
Can learn twice as quick
In the Alps, in the Alps, in the Alps.

Each echo you hear is an echo so new,
It's yodlee-yodlie-yodlee-yodlie, oh I love you!
There's mountains of lovin' and you've get your pick
In the Alps, in the Alps, in the Alps.

Olee-olee-ee, (olee-olee-ee)
Olee-olee-ee, (olee-olee-ee)
Give me allez-oop and that is where you ought to be!
Mountains to the left, (olee-olee-ee)
Mountains to the right, (olee-olee-ee)
And the kisses flow like mountain streams each night!

The air may be thinner
But love is so thick,
In the Alps, in the Alps, in the Alps.
They say each beginner
Can learn twice as quick
In the Alps, in the Alps, in the Alps. (oh-lee-ee)

Each echo you hear is an echo so new,
It's yodlee-yodlie-yodlee-yodlie, ooh I love you!
There's mountains of lovin' and you've get your pick
In the Alps, (in the Alps)
In the Alps, (odlee-odlee-ee)
In the Alps, (in the Alps)
In the Alps, (odlee-odlee-ee)
In the Alps! (odlee-odlee-ee)
