In Vienna someone composes a waltz
three times a day
all the bands play waltzes
'cos there's nothing else to play.
They've to twirl until they go dizzy
and don't know where they are
to that endless Viennese
three in a bar
La! La!

When it waltzing time in old Vienna
Tra la la la la la la la la lee!
Waltzing does seem to please
these Viennese He's and She's
when it's waltzing time in old Vienna
then you get no breakfast, dinner or tea
Hop! Skip!
One, two, three,
one, two, three,
Tra! la! la! la! la! Lee!

When it waltzing time in old Vienna
Tra la la la la la la la la lee!
Waltzing does seem to please
these Viennese He's and She's
when it's waltzing time in old Vienna
then you get no breakfast, dinner or tea
Hop! Skip!
One, two, three,
one, two, three,
Tra! la! la! la! la! Lee!

They awake each morn
to a new Vienneesy Waltz refrain.
Then just like Dick Whittington
they have to turn again
they've no time to rest in
because before they know where they are
there's another Viennese
three in a bar.
La! La!

When it waltzing time in old Vienna
Tra la la la la la la la la lee!
Waltzing does seem to please
these Viennese He's and She's
when it's waltzing time in old Vienna
then you get no breakfast, dinner or tea
Hop! Skip!
One, two, three,
one, two, three,
Tra! la! la! la! la! Lee!

When it waltzing time in old Vienna
Tra la la la la la la la la lee!
Waltzing does seem to please
these Viennese He's and She's
when it's waltzing time in old Vienna
then you get no breakfast, dinner or tea
Hop! Skip!
One, two, three,
one, two, three,
Tra! la! la! la! la! Lee!
