Fraulein

Our glasses are made ale

with a lift to the table

from the barman

Whose patrons are growing

restless for the showing

'fore the show.

Handsome ladies

make grown men babies

tonight.

Brother

see her

drink her

milk white glory.

She will turn me down,

but then at least know that I'm around.

So I pine

for my fraulein.

Piano player lingers

backstage with the singers

poor piano

(more piano)

Weeps without a sound

so silent he is found at the fort line.

Handsome ladies sing swooning maybe's tonight.

Brother

see her

drink her

milk white glory.

She will turn me down

but then at least know that I'm around.

So I pine

for my fraulein.

Milk white.

A perfect concentration,

an object of elation

is a fraulein.

She flirts without knowing

A fiction of a growing

fool's smile.

Young and unable

yet kings upon our table

tonight.

Brother

see her

drink her

milk white glory.

She will turn me down

but then at least know that I'm around.

So I pine

for my fraulein.
