Hey Gyay yay yay he
GYay yay yay he

A little Gsong, a little Cdance
A little Dseltzer down yer Gpants
Lump o' Ggold the size of yer Chead
A little Dbramble in yer Gbed
Happy Gday in a Cboat
Trade a Dheifer for a Ggoat
CaleGdonia where the Chell you Dbeen
Dear Dfriend rub my Gback
'tis no Acadence that I Dlack
Rise in Dhumor and or Glaughter
Made a Abusoon full of Dcamphor
Blow yer Dbritches down toGday
Blow yer Abritches down toDday
CaleDdonia where the Ghell you Abeen
Step Alively with caDprice
Through the Eheavy chested Aspread
May a Apurple-painted Dthief
Dance on the Eharpsichord inAstead
Let mine Aeye state it Dbluntly
No such Estuff was in my Athoughts
CaleAdonia where the Dhell you Ebeen
Dear Efriend rub my Aback

Rise in Ehumor and or Alaughter
Made a Bbusoon full of Ecamphor
Blow yer Ebritches down toAday

CaleBdonia where the Ehell you F#been
CaleBdonia where the Ehell you F#been
