The song was written for the 1948 Broadway musical Kiss Me, Kate. In this song, stage actors Fred Graham and Lilli Vanessi have gotten divorced, but they reminisce about happier times, specifically the operetta on which they met. The song is done up in imitation of a Viennese waltz.
[FRED AND LILLI]
Wunderbar! Wunderbar!
[LILLI]
There's our favorite star above
[FRED]
What a bright shining star!
[FRED AND LILLI]
Like our love, it's wunderbar!
[FRED]
Gazing down on the Jungfrau
[LILLI]
In our secret chalet for two
[FRED]
Let us drink, Liebchen mein
[LILLI]
In the moonlight divine
[FRED AND LILLI]
To the joy of our dream come true
Wunderbar! Wunderbar!
[FRED]
What a perfect night for love!
[LILLI]
Here I am, here you are
[FRED]
Why it's truly wunderbar!
[FRED AND LILLI]
Wunderbar! Wunderbar!
[FRED]
We're alone and hand in glove
[LILLI]
Not a cloud, near or far
[FRED]
Why, it's more than wunderbar
[LILLI]
Say you care, dear
[FRED]
For you, madly
[LILLI]
Say you long, dear
[FRED]
For your kiss
[LILLI]
Do you swear, dear?
[FRED]
Darling, gladly!
[LILLI]
Life's divine, dear!
[FRED]
And you're mine, dear!
[FRED AND LILLI]
Wunderbar! Wunderbar!
[LILLI]
There's our favorite star above
[FRED]
What a bright shining star!
[FRED AND LILLI]
Like our love, it's wunderbar!
(dance break)
[FRED]
And you're mine, dear!
[FRED AND LILLI]
Wunderbar! Wunderbar!
[FRED]
There's our favorite star above
[FRED AND LILLI]
What a bright shining star!
Like our love, it's wunderbar!
Wunderbar was written by Cole Porter.
