The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz Lyrics - Revisited - Tom Lehrer

Now to continue with the love song, here we have the viennese waltz type of the franz lehar/johann strauss school, conjuring up images of gaily waltzing couples and probably stale champagne drun 

M sweaty slippers. this example is called the wiener schnitzel waltz. 

Do you remember the night I held you so tight, 

As we danced to the wiener schnitzel waltz? 

The music was gay, and the setting was viennese, 

Your hair wore some roses (or perhaps they were peonies), 

I was blind to your obvious faults, 

As we danced 'cross the scene 

To the strains of the wiener schnitzel waltz. 

Oh, I drank some champagne from your shoe. 

I was drunk by the time I got through. 

I didn't know as I raised that cup, 

It had taken two bottles to fill the thing up. 

It was I who stepped on your dress. 

The skirts all came off, I confess. 

Revealing for all of the others to see 

Just what it was that endeared you to me.
