Now to continue with the love song, here we have the Viennese waltz type of the Franz Lehar Johann Strauss school, conjuring up images of gaily waltzing couples and probably stale champagne drunk from sweaty slippers.
This example is called the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz.
[Eb]
[Ab] Do you remember the night I held you so tight as we danced [Bb] to the Wiener Schnitzel [Eb] Waltz?
[Ab] The music was [Eb] gay and the setting was [Fm] Viennese.
Your hair wore some roses, [C] or perhaps they were peonies.
[Fm] I was blind to your [Bb] obvious faults.
[Ab] As we danced across the scene [Eb] to the strains of the Wiener [Ab] Schnitzel Waltz.
[Bbm]
[Eb] Oh, [Ab] I drank some [Bb] champagne from [Eb] your shoe.
I was drunk by the time [Ab] I got through.
[Bb] For I didn't know as I [F] raised that cup, [Bb] it had taken two bottles [Eb] to fill the thing up.
[Ab]
It was I who [Eb] stepped on your dress.
The skirts all came off, I [Ab] confess.
[Bb] Revealing for all of the others to see, just what it was that endeared you to [Eb] me.
[N]
[Ab] I remember the night I held you so tight as we danced to the [Eb] Wiener Schnitzel Waltz.
Your lips were like wine, if you'll pardon the simile.
[Fm] The music was lovely and [C] quite Rudolf Frimley.
[Fm] I drank wine, you drank chocolate [Bb] malts.
[Ab] And we both turned quite green [Eb] to the strains of the [Ab] Wiener Schnitzel
[Db] Waltz.
