We just tarried in Geneva; pottered 'round in Appenzell
We been walkin' 'bout cantons
Ever since Volks' tires blew out
We're goin' thru cantons, Zurich and it's surrounds (yeah?)
Yeah, we're goin' thru cantons, check out cantons' towns

We mosied 'round them cantons
Got a bed in-a Sankt Gall-en (mmm)
We waved our hands in ol' Basel-land
Made like big tools in Luzern
Ja! Ja! Uri's waitin', towns of Bern had flair
Spied lotsa snow in cantons
Yodelin' is done with some care

Then I seized chance to meet Heidi
At steeple down in Neuchatel (ah ha!)
Matterhornin' while in Valais
"Swiss time (it) was runnin' out"
I'm buy'n' new watches, then turned-a loose-a my goats
While I'm goin' thru cantons
(Glarus was quite remote)

I'd rather view Obwalden (or Thurgau)
And I'd be fancyin' a home in Zug
Saw Vaud and Solothurn, biked Nidwalden's turns
All Hel-vet-i-ca, samplin' kegs
Ja, Ja, Ja, roamed the cantons, viewed Shaffhausen's inns
And I'm Romanchin' in Graubunden despite my Fribourg sins

We then tarried in Ticino, got-a stranded in Aargau
Alpenhornin' 'round cantons; Edelweis in Schwyz all sprou-ou-out
Goin' thru cantons; Swiss Roll's a neat Jura snack
We're goin' thru cantons, won't ever neutral lack

We just tarried in Geneva; opened a Swiss bank account
Lookin' "round for Deep Purple

(fade like a diminishing avalanche)
