Is this me here, really waltzing
Is this me here, being so square
Although I know this kind of music
Makes me sick and you sick
Still I'm aware

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 Frimily
How can this be me

I've got zee urge to vear short leather trousers
And dance za vay Strauss's Fledermaus

Give me some frauses dressed up in cute blouses
Helping their spouses tie bells on their cowses

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

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 kowtow
To the rhythm, catchy rhythm
For the violins play and we've got to go with 'em
Yes, we're waltzing, really waltzing
Look at us, really waltzing now.
