Sing dose song and make dose music
Hi! Hi! Yonny Yonson
Ban a hungry Swedish guy
You can bet he never let a meal get by
He ban tryin’ all his life
To find a Swedish wife
Who can cook dose juicy apple pie
Sing dose song and make dose music

Hi! Hi! Yonny Yonson

But the girl ay tank she couldn’t cook at all
So we laugh like anyting
When we hear poor Yonson sing
To his Swedish baby doll
Chorus
Oh Scandinavia I love you
Ay tank you ban fine Swedish gal
You know for you I would die
But never ask me to try

But when you sing dose song
And make dose music
Sing dose song and make dose music

Hi! Hi! Yonny Yonson
He ban fond of choc’late cake
And so that is what he asked his girl to make
So she said to him all right
You come around tonight
And a great big cake for you I’ll bake
Sing dose song and make dose music
Sing dose song and make dose music
Hi! Hi! Yonny Yonson
Thought that he would take a chance
So he ate some cake and went off in a trance
And the next thing that he knew
He was doubled up in two
Singing in dose ambulance
