Jewel

Jewel - Yo lyrics

* Jewel and Atz together

A little yodeling song

for my man Yo

And I know that Yo don't know

That I wrote this song a late one night

He'd heard me yodeling down at Hobo Gin's

And we were hanging out at the Putter Inn

He was beggin me to yodel

And Oh Yo he wasn't half the type

He held out his hand

I said "What's your name?"

And he said "Yo"

So I asked him again

And he said "Yo" again

So I figured it must be his name

Well I was having some perculiar thoughts

But you can't say much with a name like Atz

So I settled back

Tried to figure out Yo-yo's game

Now Yo was sailin three sheets of the wind

With a frozen stare

And an ear-to-ear grin

He kept beggin me to yodel, sayin

"G-gget up there and yodel with the band"

It was my good friend Rod with a hired gun

So I stepped up to have a little bit of fun

With the lead, and the bass and the drummer and the rhythm man

Now Yo he staggered right up to the stage

He had this angelic smile on his face

That sucker looked like he floated up to heaven and he died

While I never had a fan quite like Yo before

He stood there mesmerized on the floor

He started stompin and clappin when he heard my yodeling cry

(chorus)

And I said

*Yo This yodeling song's for you

No matter where you go

No matter what you do

Remember that time spent yodeling's time well spent

I've never had myself a fan club before

But Yo don't you know that one thing's for sure

If I do I'll make you my fan club president

And I said

*(Yodel)

Well when I got through

I said "There you go Yo"

And he was still smiling but his eyes were still closed

And I thought I was going to get away from him

But then he opened them wide and said

"I-II want to hear some more"

Well I was wearing out my welcome and I was running out of time

But I decided that I'd yodel up another line

Cause I thought it was the only way I could get Yo off the floor

Then I got to thinking

I realized

Suddenly I realized

Why old Yo liked yodeling

Because everytime I yodeled I was saying Yo's name

Well then I got to thinking it probably wouldn't work too well

In fact it downright sounds like hell

If you ever try to yodel using anybody elses name

Try Inga

*Inga-lay (etc.)

See what I mean It just doesn't work

So In this whole wide world

No matter where I go

One thing I've learned

I've finally know

I'll never yodel again if there's anyone in the audience named Yo

And I said

*Yo This yodeling song's for you

No matter where you go

No matter what you do

Remember that time spent yodeling's time well spent

I've never had myself a fan club before

But Yo don't you know that one thing's for sure

If I do I'll make you my fan club president

And I said

*(Yodel)

(long yodel)
