Leaps and glides

Hear the blistfull notes,

Listen cock your head,

Lend me you ear good sir,

My head sways to the music,

With a cane in one hand,

In my heart’s of hearts,

Strauss plays upon the floor I glide,

Twirling, this way and that across the floor,

I glide and in my heart I’m Count Octavian in Der Rosenkavaliar,

My favorite Operas are by Richard Strauss,

If I ever get to Salsburg,

I fear I shall just weep,

Over flowing with joy,
