Back in the days of knights in armor
|
There once lived a lovely charmer
|
Swimming in the Rhine
|
Her figure was divine
|
|
She had a yen for all the sailors
|
Fishermen and gobs and whalers
|
She had a most immoral eye
|
They called her Lorelei
|
|
She created quite a stir
|
And I want to be like her
|
|
I want to be like that gal on the river
|
Who sang her song to the ships passing by
|
She had the goods and how she could deliver
|
The Lorelei
|
|
She used to love in a strange kind of fashion
|
With lots of hey-ho-de-ho-hi-de-hi
|
And I can guarantee I'm full of passion
|
Like the Lorelei
|
|
I'm treacherous, yeah-yeah
|
Oh, I just can't hold myself in check
|
I'm lecherous, yeah-yeah
|
I want to bite my initials on a sailor's neck
|
|
Each affair has a kick and a wallop
|
For what they crave, I can always supply
|
I want to be just like that other trollop
|
The Lorelei
|
|
I want to be just like that other trollop
|
The Lorelei
|
