The Lorelei Lyrics by Arnetia Walker

Pardon My English

0

[GOLO, spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen, meine Damen und Herren
Welcome to the Club Twenty One
I am your host, Golo
And once again I am pleased to present our star attraction
The one, the only, Gita
[GITA]
Back in the days of knights in armor
There once lived a lovely charmer
Swimming in the Rhine
Her figure was divine
She had a yen for all the sailors
Fishermen and gobs and whalers
She had a most immoral eye
They called her Lorelei
She created quite a stir
And I wanna be like her
I wanna be like that girl on the river
Who sang her song to the ships passing by
She had the goods and how she could deliver
The Lorelei!
She used to love in a strange kind of fashion
With lots of hey-ho-de-ho-hi-de-hi
And I can guarantee I'm full of passion
Like the Lorelei
I'm treacherous, ja, ja
Oh, I just can't hold myself in check
I'm lecherous, ja, ja
I wanna bite my initials on a sailor's neck
Each affair had a kick and a wallop
For what they crave, she could always supply
I wanna be just like that other trollop
The Lorelei
[WOMEN]
I want to sing like that gal on the river
Who sang her song to the ships passing by
She had the goods and how she could deliver
[GITA & MEN]
The Lorelei (The Lorelei)
[GITA]
She used to love in a strange kind of fashion
With lots of
[GITA & MEN]
Hey-ho-de-ho-hi-de-hi
[WOMEN]
There never was a lady full of passion
Like the Lorelei
[GITA]
Like the Lorelei
She'd make 'em all, ja ja
[MEN]
What a picture when she shook her frame
[GITA]
She'd take 'em all, ja, ja
With every shake forty battleships went up in flame
[GITA & ENSEMBLE]
Those were the days when romance packed a wallop
But today we are left high and dry
For the navy never found another trollop
Like the Lorelei
