The Minute Waltz lyrics

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 last every last breath that i got within in my body
Hope that my performance won`t be very shoddy
Singing every note
I`m not the one to spoil my throat
I probably will end up hoarse
Of course i will i`ve done it
An a way from that i made i will i want
It`s 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 waltzed 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
On every note that`s in this score
While the sands of time i know are pouring
Let me win my bet and i`ll run with the money
Down to something store there i`ll buy a honey
Of a trophy for myself to put upon a shelf show the world i 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 to scale
I won`t have failed to sing the minute waltz!
