Herman Let's Dance That Beautiful Waltz 1910

Miss Lena Kraussmeyer
with hair red as fire
last Saturday went to a ball,
There stood Mister Herman
a sweet little German,
the best that was dressed
in the hall.
The music played dances
like ragtime and lancers
but no one would go on the floor
so quickly the band played
a waltz that was grand,
a waltz that made sweet Lena roar.

Herman let's dance
to the tune of that beautiful waltz,
now listen you German
I'm talking to you,
I'll do something dear
you don't want me to do,
so come on take a chance
and I'll know that
your love isn't false.
A feeling that's healing
comes stealing while spieling
that beautiful, beautiful waltz.

Herman let's dance
to the tune of that beautiful waltz,
now listen you German
I'm talking to you,
I'll do something dear
you don't want me to do,
so come on take a chance
and I'll know that
your love isn't false.
A feeling that's healing
comes stealing while spieling
that beautiful, beautiful waltz.

I heard that a coon
who heard Mendelssohn's tune
kissed the first man she saw,
if it's true,
That very same feeling
I feel on me stealing
and Herman I'm looking at you.
So close both your eyes
make believe you ain't wise,
only pucker your lips into place.
Think of five hundred meld
or a sweet Anna Held,
while I kiss the hole in your face.

Herman let's dance
to the tune of that beautiful waltz,
now listen you German
I'm talking to you,
I'll do something dear
you don't want me to do,
so come on take a chance
and I'll know that
your love isn't false.
A feeling that's healing
comes stealing while spieling
that beautiful, beautiful waltz.

Herman let's dance
to the tune of that beautiful waltz,
now listen you German
I'm talking to you,
I'll do something dear
you don't want me to do,
so come on take a chance
and I'll know that
your love isn't false.
A feeling that's healing
comes stealing while spieling
that beautiful, beautiful waltz.
