The Wienerschnitzel Waltz - Tom Lehrer

Now to continue with the love song, here we have the viennese waltz type of the

franz lehar/johann strauss school, conjuring up images of gaily waltzing

couples and probably stale champagne drun

M sweaty slippers.

this example is called the wiener schnitzel waltz

Do you remember the night I held you so tight

As we danced to the wiener schnitzel waltz?

The music was gay, and the setting was viennese

Your hair wore some roses (or perhaps they were peonies)

I was blind to your obvious faults

As we danced 'cross the scene

To the strains of the wiener schnitzel waltz

Oh, I drank some champagne from your shoe

I was drunk by the time I got through

I didn’t know as I raised that cup

It had taken two bottles to fill the thing up

It was I who stepped on your dress

The skirts all came off, I confess

Revealing for all of the others to see

Just what it was that endeared you to me

I remember the night I held you so tight

As we danced to the wiener schnitzel waltz

Your lips were like wine (if you’ll pardon the simile)

The music was lovely and quite rudolf frimly

I drank wine, you drank chocolate malts

And we both turned quite green

To the strains of the wiener schnitzel waltz
