Lorelei

Back in the days of knights in 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 that gal on the river

Who 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

Well now, I'm treacherous, ya ya

I just can't hold myself in check

I'm lecherous, ya ya

I wanna bite my initials on a sailor's neck, woo!

Each affair has a kick and a wallop

For what they crave I can always supply

I wanna be just like that other trollop

The Lorelei

Now, I tell you

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

If the river don't get you then the undertow must

But I, I wanna be Lorelei

Oh, and sit and whistle on a rock
