(O'Kun)
2
I have got a minute, just a little minute,
3
I have only got a minute, just a minute,
4
I have only got a minute that is all the time
5
I have to sing this tiny minute waltz
6
It isn't easy but I'll try
7
Then I gotta say goodbye
8
But first I take a minute
9
And put in it every note that Chopin wrote
10
And thus I'll sing the little minute waltz
11
And hope that I can sing with no faults
12
And though it's difficult
13
I'll give it every last breath that I got within in my body
14
Hope that my performance won't be very shoddy
15
Singing every note though not the one to spoil my throat
16
I probably will end up hoarse
17
Of course I will have done it
18
And the wager that I made I will have won
19
It's not the money but the satisfaction that I get
20
From winning money on this silly kind of bet
21
Though this kind of solo wasn't his intention
22
Chopin isn't here to make an intervention
23
So with your permission and no intermission
24
I will sing each note that that composer wrote
25
As you can hear my trilling isn't very thrilling
26
But no one can say I wasn't very willing
27
To attempt a thing that's not been done
28
And just for fun to sing the minute waltz
29
As I sing the seconds fly, all too soon the minute waltzes by
30
And now I ask you where am I halfway through the tune
31
And I'm falling far behind
32
I have less than 30 seconds
33
Less than 30 seconds
34
Less than 30
35
Less than half a minute
36
I have less than 30 seconds
37
I have less than half a minute
38
To complete this little minute waltz
39
And every note that's in the score
40
While the sands of time I know are pouring
41
Let me win my bet and I'll run with the money
42
Down to some big store and there I'll buy a honey
43
Of a trophy for myself to put upon a shelf to show the world I've won
44
Oh the second hand is rushing round the dial
45
And though I'd like to end this torture with a smile
46
Unless someone knows how to stop the clock
47
You gonna see me cry before I say goodbye
48
Eight little measures to complete this song
49
But I'm afraid my little lungs will burst before to long if
50
Only I can last the scale
51
I won't have failed to sing the minute waltz!
