The minute waltz

by Barbra Streisand

lyricscopy.com
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 time
I have to sing this tiny minute waltz
It isn´t easy but I´ll try it
Than I gotta say goodbye
But first I take a minute
And put in it every note that Chopin wrote
and I shall sing the little minute waltz
And hope that I can sing with no faults
and though it´s difficult
I´ll give it every gust of air I got within in my body
Hope that my performance will be very shiny
Singing every note will not do wonders for my throat
I probably will end up hoarse
Of course I will have done it
And a will for that I made
That what I want is not the money
but the satisfaction that I get
from winning money on this silly kind of bet
Though this kind of solo wasn´t his intention
Chopin isn´t here to make an intervention
So with your permission and no intermission
I will sing each note that that composer wrote
as you can hear my trilling isn´t very thrilling
but no one can say I wasn´t very willing
to attempt a thing that´s not been done
and just for fun to sing the minute waltz
As I sing the seconds fly, oh too soon the minute waltzes by
And now I ask you where am I halfway through the tune
and I´m falling far behind
I have less than 30 seconds
less than 30 seconds
less than 30
less than half a minute
I have less than 30 seconds
I have less than half a minute
to complete this little minute waltz
And every note that´s its score
While the sands of time I know are pouring
Let me win my bet and I´ll run with the money
Down to some drug store whare I will buy a honey
Or a trophy for myself to put upon a shelf to show the world I´ve won
Oh the second hand is rushing round the dial
And though I´d like to end this torture with a smile
Unless someone knows how to stop the clock
you gonna see me cry before I said goodbye
Eight little measures to complete this song
But I´m afraid my little lungs will burst before to long if
Only I can last the scale
I won´t have failed to sing the minute waltz!
