The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz

The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz - Tom Lehrer

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
