Hungarian Rhapsody |
Oh what a time we had down by the Danube! |
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine |
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms |
Everyone’s happy and things are just fine |
Finished our food and got into the wagon |
To drive 80 miles and then do the show |
5 hours later, we’re still busy trucking |
Banging and bumping; |
don’t know where to go |
Oh what a time we had down by the Danube! |
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine |
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms |
Everyone’s happy and things are just fine |
Got to the gig, although nobody else did |
Set up the gear and began to play |
Farmers and soldiers just standing and staring |
Just didn’t know what to make of the day |
Oh what a time we had down by the Danube! |
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine |
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms |
Everyone’s happy and things are just fine |
Finished the last song and made for the exit |
But the manager man had come up from the sticks |
He said «why ain’t you dressed like a poofter ensemble |
Leaping pianos and waving your legs?» |
