Lyrics Cliff Richard – Really Waltzing

Is…this…me here, really waltzing?
Is this me here, being so square?
Although I know this kind of mu-sic
Makes me sick and you sick

Yeah, it’s me here, really waltzing
To a Viennese one-two-three
And if you’ll pardon me the simile
I’m a Romberg and Frim’l-y
?
How can this be me?

Bass voice (mock Austrian accent):
I’ve got zee urge to vear short leather trousers
And dance za vay Strauss-es made their mous-es

Cliff Joins in (with mock accent):
Give me some frau-ses dressed up in cute blouses
Helping their spouses tie bells on their cows-es

Cliff (with accent):
Oh…here I’m really waltzing
Though I shudder at the idea
And though I really should know better
Here am I in operetta
Really waltzing here

Cliff & full chorus:
And…so…we’re here, really waltzing
As we take our partners and bow
We say «a plague upon the houses of all the three Strausses»
But, all the same, we must kow-tow
To the rhythm, catchy rhythm
For the violins play and we’ve got to go with ’em
