Merano/what A Scene! What A Joy! Lyrics - Josh Groban

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 

Right now we're Italian - we used to be German 

The border keeps shifting around

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

MAYOR (solo) 

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 thee 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 reason why 

All those in favour say "Aye" 

Aye! 

So sing our 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 (solo) 

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! 

Get out your get up and go and get in line 

It's living your life in a show by Rogers and Hammerstein! 

FREDDIE: 

What a scene, what a joy, 

what a lovely site 

Where my game is the big sensation 

As the mob's sporting taste altered overnight? 

Have they found new sophistication? 

FLORENCE: 

Not yet! They just wanna see 

If the nice guy beats the bum 

If it's East-West and the money's sky high 

They all come 

FREDDIE: 

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 alright, I'll be glad to oblige 

FREDDIE AND FLORENCE: 

SRO

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! 

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!
