Abiyoyo lyrics
Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo
Abiyoyo, yoyoyo, yoyoyo
Once upon a time there was a little boy who
played the ukelele. He'd go around town,
'Blmp, blmp, blmp, blmp, blmp, blmp, blmp,bImp blmp blmp, blmp blmp, blmp!'
Grown-ups said "Get that thing out of here!"
Not only that, the boy's father was a gettin'
in trouble. He was a magician. He had a
magic wand. He could go 'Zoop! Zoop!' make
things disappear. But the father played too
many tricks on people. Somebody doing a
hard job of work, 'zzt, zzt, zzt', up comes the
father with his magic wand, 'Zoop!' no saw.
Come to someone about to drink a nice coldglass of something, 'Zoop!' the glass
disappears, He'd come to someone about
to sit down after a hard day's work, 'Zoopl'no chair.
People said to the father, "You get out of here, too. Take your magic wand and
your son!" The boy and his father were ostracized. That means they made them
live on the edge of town.Now in this town they used to tell stories.
The old people used to tell stories about
the giants that lived in the old days They
used to tell a story about a giant called Abiyoyo. They said he was as tall as a
house and could eat...people... up.Of course, nobody believed it, but they
told the story anyway.One day, one day, the sun rose, blood red
over the hill. And the first people got up
and looked out of their window, they saw a
great big shadow in front of the sun. Andthey could feel the whole ground shake.
'Stomp, stomp'. Women screamed, 'Ahh!'Strong men fainted "Ohh!" - "Run for
your lives! Abiyoyo's coming!"He came to the sheep pasture, grabs a
whole sheep, 'Yeowp!' Comes to the cowpasture, grabs a whole cow, 'Yeowp!'
Daniel, "Grab your most precious possessions and run! Run!" Just then the
boy and his father woke up "Hey, Paw,what's coming over the field?" - Oh, Son,
that's Abiyoyo. Oh, if I could only get him
to lie down, I could make him disappear."The boy said "Come with me, Father." He
grabs his father by one hand. The fathergets the magic wand, the boy gets the
ukelele. They run across the field. People
yelled, "Don't go near him! He'll eat youalive!" There was Abiyoyo. He had long
fingernails cause he never cut 'em.Slobbery teeth, cause he didn't brush
them. Stinking feet, 'cause he didn't wash
'em. He raised up with his claws, the boy
whips out his ukelele and starts to sing.Chorus
Well, you know the giant had never heard a song
about himself before, and a foolish grin spread
over the giant's face. And the giant started to
dance "Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo," the boy
went faster, "Abiyoyo, yoyoyo, yoyoyo. Abiyoyo,
Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo," The giant
got out of breath. He staggered. He fell down flat
on the ground 'Zoop!, Zoop!' people looked outthe window, Abiyoyo disappeared.
They ran across the fields. They lifted the boy
and his father up on their shoulders. They said,
"Come back to town. Bring your damn ukelele,
we don t care anymore!" And they all sang:Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo
(Oh, you sing it with me,)Abiyoyo Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo
