Lorelei |
| 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 want to be like her |
| I want to be like that gal 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, yeah, yeah |
| Oh, I just can’t hold myself in check |
| I’m lecherous, yeah, yeah |
| I want to bite my initials on a sailor’s neck |
| Each affair has a kick and a wallop |
| For what they crave, I can always supply |
| I want to be just like that other trollop |
| The Lorelei |
| I want to be just like that other trollop |
| The Lorelei |
