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 timeI have to sing this tiny minute waltzIt isn't easy but I'll try itThan I gotta say goodbyeBut first I take a minuteAnd put in it every note that Chopin wroteAnd I shall sing the little minute waltz

And hope that I can sing with no faultsAnd though it's difficultI'll give it every gust of air I got within in my bodyHope that my performance will be very shinySinging every note will not do wonders for my throatI probably will end up hoarseOf course I will have done itAnd a will for that I madeThat what I want is not the moneyBut the satisfaction that I getFrom winning money on this silly kind of betThough this kind of solo wasn't his intentionChopin isn't here to make an interventionSo with your permission and no intermissionI will sing each note that that composer wroteAs you can hear my trilling isn't very thrillingBut no one can say I wasn't very willingTo attempt a thing that's not been doneAnd just for fun to sing the minute waltz

As I sing the seconds fly,All too soon the minute waltzes byAnd now I ask you where am Ihalfway through the tuneand I'm falling far behind

I have less than 30 secondsless than 30 secondsless than 30less than half a minuteI have less than 30 secondsI have less than half a minuteto complete this little minute waltzAnd every note that's its scoreWhile the sands of time I know are pouringLet me win my bet and I'll run with the moneyDown to some drug store where I will buy a honeyOr a trophy for myself to put upon a shelfto show the world I've won

Oh the second hand is rushing round the dialAnd though I'd like to end this torture with a smileUnless someone knows how to stop the clockYou gonna see me cry before I said goodbyeEight little measures to complete this songBut I'm afraid my little lungs will burst before to longIf only I can last the scaleI won't have failed to sing the minute waltz!
