Adele's Laughing Song (From 'Die Fiedermaus' - Johann Strauss)

Lyricist:     Composer:

Oh noble sir
how far you err
you're really not descreet
therefore my advice
is that you look twice
when judging those you meet

My little white hand oh so fine-Ahhhh
My foot with it's contours divine-ahhhh
My speech ever disarming
My waist line so slim and charming
No lady maid could be so full of grace you see
No lady maid could be so full of grace you see

Now you must own to your mistake
Your blunder almost takes the cake--

Oh how funny--ah ha ha
You amuse me--ah ha ha
If I laugh sir--Ah ha ha
Please excuse me-- Ah hahahahahahaha
Ah how funny--ah ha ha
You amuse me--ah ha ha
ha--- ha---Dear marquis

My profile's greek
and fair my cheek
where nature shows her skill
should this silhouette
not convince you yet
my figure surely will

so look through your glasses and see--ahhh
My costume my air of grandee--ahhh
Your love is short-sighted
Alas you're be-knighted---
This maid with all her art has stolen your poor heart
This maid with all her art has stolen your poor heart

You seem to see her everywhere
it's rather droll I do declare--

Oh how funny--ah ha ha
You amuse me--ah ha ha
If I laugh sir--Ah ha ha
Please excuse me-- Ah hahahahahahaha
Ah how funny--ah ha ha
You amuse me--ah ha ha
Ha--- ha---haaaaa!!!!
