Merano |
| Benny Andersson, Tim Rice, and Bjorn Ulvaeus |
| CITIZENS OF MERANO: |
| O 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 bless-ed is Merano |
| Merano! |
| There are no Fitter burghers to be found |
| Such vigour! |
| Take the time to taste us We’ll give you a welcome that’s typically Tirol |
| For then we are sure of our ground |
| Fight now we’re Italian -- we used to be German |
| The border keeps shifting around |
| MAYOR: |
| Speaking as one of the patriarchs |
| I don’t mind taking your lira or marks |
| CITIZENS: |
| 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 o hail to the |
| Merano |
| Hearty hale Merano |
| Any objections? |
| Nein! |
| Where breathing in will turn you on Where water tastes like wine |
| Get out your get up and go and get in line |
| It’s living your life in a show by Rodgers and |
| Hammerstein! |
| O 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 favour say Aye |
| Aye! |
| So sing a song |
| Let’s hear it for Merano |
| Merano! |
| Soprano |
| Alto, tenor, bass 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: |
| So come to us and feel the force |
| All major credit cards taken of course |
| CITIZENS: |
| 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! |
| CITIZENS: (after a good whistle) |
| Get up your get up and go and get in line |
| It’s living your life in a show… |
| THE AMERICAN: |
| 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? |
| 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 |
| They all come |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| All right! |
| I’ll be glad to oblige |
| All right! |
| I’ll be glad to oblige |
| S.R.O. |
| S.R.O. |

| 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 an hotel |
| And schnell |
| Body and soul |
| Get well! |
