The Lorelei
Back in the days of knights and armour,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 the gal on the riverWho sang her songs 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!Oh I'm treacherous, ya ya,And I just can't hold myself in check!And I'm lecherous, ya ya,I wanna bite my initials on a sailor's neck!Letras de cancionesAnd each affair has a kick and a wallop,For what they crave I can always supply!I wanna be like that other trollopCalled the Lorelei!I wanna be like the gal on the riverWho sang to the ships passin' by;She had the goods and how she could deliver,The Lorelei!She used to love in a strange kind of fashion,With "hey, ho-de-ho, hi-de-hi!",Guarantee I'm full of passion,Like the Lorelei!Oh I'm treacherous, ya ya,And I just can't hold myself in check!Lecherous, ya ya,I wanna bite my initials on a sailor's neck!And each affair has a kick and a wallop,What they crave I can always supply!I wanna be like that other Lorelei!
