refrain

Soloists: Ee-e-e-um-um-a-weh. Ee-e-e-um-um-a-weh. (soloists only)

Followed by the choir: Wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh (4X)

In the garden
The peaceful garden
The orphan tells her tale
A tale of pirates
A tale of monsters
A never-ending tale

Refrain -- Soloists and choir together

Soloists: Ee-e-e-um-um-a-weh. Choir: Wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh (2X)
Soloists: Ee-e-e-um-um-a-weh. Choir: Wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh (2X)
In the desert
The lonely desert
Joined twins seek Unity
In the desert
The quiet desert
They risk insanity

Refrain -- Soloists and choir together

In Wisconsin
With Julie Phillips
We celebrate with glee
Here at Wiscon
At mighty Wiscon
We give them the Tiptree

Refrain
Soloists and choir together
