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 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-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!
And each affair has a kick and a wallop,
For what they crave I can always supply!
I wanna be like that other trollop
Called the Lorelei!
I wanna be like the gal on the river
Who 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-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!
