Merano / What A Scene! What A Joy! Lyrics by Chess in Concert Cast
Chess In Concert (Live)
2009
[CITIZENS OF MERANO] Oh, light the heart That lingers in Merano Merano! The spa no Connoisseur of spas Would miss. (So healthy!) Highly recommended Is this sweet metropolis (Mental and physical bliss!) The gods have smiled And blessed is Merano Merano! There are no Fitter burghers to be found. Such vigor! Take the time to taste us— We'll give you a welcome That's typically Tyrol For then we are sure of our ground Right now we're Italian We used to be German The border keeps shifting around [MAYOR OF MERANO] Speaking as one of the patriarchs I don't mind taking your lira or marks [CITIZENS OF MERANO] Oh I get high when I saunter by The mountains of Merano Rosy-cheeked Merano Flourishing to a fault The sparkling streams The bracing air The therapeutic salt I'd have to be carried away To call a halt! Oh, I feel great In this bouncing state All hail to thee, Merano Hearty hale Merano— [WOMEN, spoken] Any objections? [MEN, spoken] Nein! [CITIZENS OF MERANO] Where breathing in Will turn you on Where water tastes like wine Get up your get up and go And get in line! It's living your life in a show By Rodgers and Hammerstein Oh, sad the soul Who passes by Merano Merano! So far no Soul has ever passed us by (They love us!) Why not stay forever? Oh so many reasons why (All those in favor say "Aye") Aye! So sing a song Let's hear it for Merano Merano! [SOPRANOS] Soprano [ALTOS] Alto [TENORS] Tenor [BASSES] Bass [CITIZENS OF MERANO] Agree! (We're wholesome.) What a happy haven! This is a place Where your arteries soften— Cholesterol hasn't a chance From mountain to valley The natural goodness Is fighting pollution's advance [MAYOR OF MERANO] So come to us and feel the force All major credit cards taken of course [CITIZENS OF MERANO] Oh, I get high when I saunter by The mountains of Merano Rosy-cheeked Merano Flourishing to a fault The sparkling streams The bracing air The therapeutic salt I'd have to be carried away To call a halt! Once in a while All the gods will smile On little old Merano Humble, shy Merano Suddenly hits the press And I report with all the pride And joy that I possess: Half of the world and his wife Has our address! Our little town will be rife With games of chess! *Whistling* [CITIZENS OF MERANO] Get up your get up and go And get in line! It's living your life in a show By Rodgers and Hammerstein! [FREDDIE] What a scene What a joy What a lovely sight When my game is The big sensation! Has the mob's sporting taste Altered overnight? Have they found New sophistication? [FLORENCE] Not yet! They just want to see If the nice guy Beats the bum If it's East-West And the money's sky high— [FLORENCE & FREDDIE] They all come [FREDDIE] You can raise all you want If you raise the roof Scream and shout And the gate increases Break the rules Break the bank I'm the living proof They don't care How I move my pieces Well, I know I'm the best there is But all they want is a show Well, that's all right I'll be glad to oblige— [FLORENCE & FREDDIE] SRO SRO! [CITIZENS OF MERANO] Oh, I get high when I saunter by The mountains of Merano Rosy-cheeked Merano Flourishing to a fault The sparkling streams The bracing air The therapeutic salt I'd have to be carried away To call a halt! Oh, I feel great In this bouncing state All hail to thee, Merano Hearty hale Merano— [WOMEN, spoken] Any objections? [MEN, spoken] Nein! [CITIZENS OF MERANO] Where breathing in Will turn you on Where water tastes like wine Get up your get up and go And get in line! It's living your life in a show By Rodgers and Hammerstein! Now for the sell: We put the ice into paradise We are the salt of the Earth Sound as a bell Check out the waters And check out the hygiene At which we excel Check into a hotel Und schnell Body and soul get well!
