Back in the days of knights and armor
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-de-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-de-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!
