Song of the Rhineland (demo)

[ENSEMBLE]
Drink, drink!
Donner wetter!
Vat is better?
Drink, drink!
Fill der seidel!
Don't be idle!
Drink, drink!
Drink it all down 'til you fall down
Drink day and night to Gemüthlichkeit

Clink, clink!
Mit a prosit!
Down it goes it!
Clink, clink!
Fill the stein up
Yours and mine up!
Clink, clink!
Life is cheery when you're beery
All else above, drink the drink you love
Jawohl! Skoal!
Jawohl! Skoal!
Drink to the drink we love

[GERSHWIN, spoken]
Lucilla:

[LUCILLA]
A drinking song is fine
About the pleasures of the stein
But what about a song about the Rhine?

[GERSHWIN, spoken]
Colonel to Lucilla:

[COLONEL]
Gut, gut, Fraulein!

[GERSHWIN, spoken]
To the soldiers:

[COLONEL]
I command a song about the Rhine

[GERSHWIN, spoken]
Soldiers:

[SOLDIERS]
We sing you the song of the Rhineland
Europa's beauty spot
Oh never was there such a fine land
Each man's a fighter
A lover und so weiter
That wonderful pretzel and steinland
Can never be forgot!
And so on that basis
We say to your faces
On earth there no places like dot!
Ja, ja, on that basis
We say to your faces
On earth there no places like dot!

[GERSHWIN, spoken]
Lucilla:

[LUCILLA]
Life is milk and honeyer
Where the sun is sunnier
And the rain is rainier
And the brains is brainier

[GERSHWIN, spoken]
Colonel:

[COLONEL]
Where the heart is mellower
And the hair is yellower
And the girls is juicier
And the goosestep goosier

[GERSHWIN, spoken]
Quartet:

[QUARTET]
Where the stork is storkier
And the pig is porkier
And the beer is beerier
And the soup superior (Oh)
Where the wine is wineier
And the Rhine is Rhinier
And the Heinie's Heinier
And what's yours is minier

We sing you no more of the Rhineland
Vot more is to discuss?
Oh Fatherland, Motherland
Sisterland, Brotherland
No other land is for us
