I miss my Swiss,
My Swiss miss misses me,
I miss the bliss
That Swiss kiss gives to me.
I hear her yodeling sweet mel-l-l-l-odies,
Like the birds, like the bees
In the Schweitzer trees.
And if papa makes watches that are Swiss,
That's why he watches me like this!
I lost her in the mountains,
In the mountains she must be;
I miss my Swiss,
My Swiss miss misses me!
