The Minute Waltz

I have got a minute, just a little minute,

I have only got a minute, just minute,

I have only got a minute that is all the time

I have to sing this tiny minute waltz

It isn't easy but i'll try it

Than i gotta say goodbye

But first i take a minute

And put in it every note that chopin wrote

And i shall sing the little minute waltz

And hope that i can sing with no faults

And though it's difficult

I'll give it every gust of air i got within in my body

Hope that my performance will be very shiny

Singing every note will not do wonders for my throat

I probably will end up hoarse

Of course i will have done it

And a will for that i made

That what i want is not the money

But the satisfaction that i get

From winning money on this silly kind of bet

Though this kind of solo wasn't his intention

Chopin isn't here to make an intervention

So with your permission and no intermission

I will sing each note that that composer wrote

As you can hear my trilling isn't very thrilling

But no one can say i wasn't very willing

To attempt a thing that's not been done

And just for fun to sing the minute waltz

As i sing the seconds fly, oh too soon the minute waltzes by

And now i ask you where am i halfway through the tune

And i'm falling far behind

I have less than 30 seconds

Less than 30 seconds

Less than 30

Less than half a minute

I have less than 30 seconds

I have less than half a minute

To complete this little minute waltz

And every note that's its score

While the sands of time i know are pouring

Let me win my bet and i'll run with the money

Down to some drug store whare i will buy a honey

Or a trophy for myself to put upon a shelf to show the world i've won

Oh the second hand is rushing round the dial

And though i'd like to end this torture with a smile

Unless someone knows how to stop the clock

You gonna see me cry before i said goodbye

Eight little measures to complete this song

But i'm afraid my little lungs will burst before to long if

Only i can last the scale

I won't have failed to sing the minute waltz!
