Yo Ya is one of Kaveret's greatest hits, with an especially catchy and lively melody and outstanding lyrics. The song is constructed around familiar sayings. Lyricists Alon Olearchik and Dani Sanderson play on these both musically and humorously. |

Yo Ya
I got a harsh sentence They sentenced me to death I sat on the electric chair Said good-bye to my car I hoped that at least I could change chairs Because they say "If you change your place you change your luck" Hey yo ya I ask you Hey yo ya You answer me Hey yo ya Is it fair? Hey yo ya You don't know My brother used to collect stamps That's why he worked in the post office He would sort the mail (Even got promoted) One day a supervisor noticed That he also collected letters From his job he was immediately fired Because all good things must have an end Hey yo ya I ask you Hey yo ya You answer me Hey yo ya Is it fair? Hey yo ya You don't know I had an uncle who was so lazy He was too tired even to nap He would go to the ant And return in a bad mood If he wasn't so stupid He'd know there was More to the saying: See the path and learn. Hey yo ya I ask you Hey yo ya You answer me Hey yo ya Is it fair? Hey yo ya You don't know My cousin wanted to learn to swim So he could float on a regular basis He learned to swim by correspondence course From a famous lifeguard When he finally got in the water Within seconds he was gone Two jumped in right away Drowning the two from the one Hey yo ya I ask you Hey yo ya You answer me Hey yo ya Is it fair? Hey yo ya You don't know |
