George Gershwin Lorelei ( Pardon My English, 1933)
Back in the days of knights in 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 that gal on the river Who sang her song 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 heyhodehohidehi And I can guarantee Im full of passion Like the Lorelei Im treacherous, yeahyeah Oh, I just cant hold myself in check Im lecherous, yeahyeah I want to bite my initials on a sailors neck Each affair has a kick and a wallop For what they crave, I can always supply I want to be just like that other trollop The Lorelei
