The Lorelei

Lyrics

[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
