Abiyoyo - Arlo Guthrie



Chorus:

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 cold

glass 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. And

they 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 pastu
