Yo! A Nonsense Lyric (As Sung by Yolande)

"You've your yoyoing Yogi, 
 your yoyoing Yoda. 
 Yonder's yoyoing Yom Kippur.
 Your Yossarian, yoyoing, 
 yells, 'Hi-yo, Silver!'.
 You've yoyoing Yoko...yeah: her!
      "You've your yoyoing young 
 cryotherapist 
 (yours is yodeling 'sa-yo-na-ra'*).
 You've your yoyoing yoghurt-engorged 
 Dryopithecus; 
 yours yoyos (yoicks!) Yo-Yo Ma.
     "Rev'rend Spooner, while yoyoing, 
 yells, 'Rellow Yose! 
 Mold the hayo, Sosemite Yam!'
 Both those yokels, once through  
 (with their yoyoing, nu...?)
 yodel, 'Yolayheehoo...'
 So: are you -- yabba...doo!** -- 
 B.Y.O.ing your yoyos...?"

     "I am."

     * Unlike in English, Japanese does not employ
stress accent. The effect generally is that each 
syllable receives approximately the same stress --
which can, to Western ears, sound like a stress accent
is applied to the final syllable, as it sounds above.
     ** Truncated version of characteristic comment 
by same Yogi Bear who appears in the first line of 
this lyric.
