[CITIZENS OF MERANO]<br>

O light the heart<br>

That lingers in Merano<br>

Merano! The spa no<br>

Connoisseur of spas would miss<br>

So healthy<br>

Highly recommended<br>

Is this sweet metropolis<br>

Mental and physical bliss!<br>

<br>

The gods have smiled<br>

And bless-ed is Merano<br>

Merano! There are no<br>

Fitter burghers to be found<br>

Such vigour!<br>

Take the time to taste us<br>

We'll give you a welcome that's typically Tirol<br>

For then we are sure of our ground<br>

Fight now we're Italian -- we used to be German<br>

The border keeps shifting around<br>

<br>

[MAYOR]<br>

Speaking as one of the patriarchs<br>

I don't mind taking your lira or marks<br>

<br>

[CITIZENS]<br>

Oh I get high when I saunter by the mountains of Merano<br>

Rosy-cheeked Merano<br>

Flourishing to a fault<br>

The sparkling streams, the bracing air<br>

The therapeutic salt<br>

I'd have to be carried away to call a halt!<br>

<br>

Oh I feel great in this bouncing state o hail to the Merano<br>

Hearty hale Merano<br>

Any objections? Nein!<br>

Where breathing in will turn you on<br>

Where water tastes like wine<br>

Get out your get up and go and get in line<br>

It's living your life in a show by Rodgers and Hammerstein!<br>

<br>

O sad the soul<br>

Who passes by Merano<br>

Merano! so far no<br>

Soul has ever passed us by<br>

They love us<br>

Why not stay forever?<br>

Oh so many reasons why<br>

All those in favour say "Aye"<br>

Aye!<br>

<br>

So sing a song<br>

Let's hear it for Merano<br>

Merano! Soprano<br>

Alto, tenor, bass agree<br>

We're wholesome<br>

What a happy haven<br>

This is a place where your arteries soften<br>

Cholesterol hasn't a chance<br>

From mountain to valley the natural goodness<br>

Is fighting pollution's advance<br>

<br>

[MAYOR]<br>

So come to us and feel the force<br>

All major credit cards taken of course<br>

<br>

[CITIZENS]<br>

Oh I get high when I saunter by the mountains of Merano<br>

Rosy-cheeked Merano<br>

Flourishing to a fault<br>

The sparkling streams, the bracing air<br>

The therapeutic salt<br>

I'd have to be carried away to call a halt<br>

<br>

Once in a while all the gods will smile on little old Merano<br>

Humble shy Merano<br>

Suddenly hits the press<br>

And I report with all the pride<br>

And joy that I possess<br>

Half of the world and his wife has our address<br>

Our little town will be rife with games of chess!<br>

<br>

[CITIZENS]<br>

Get up your get up and go and get in line<br>

It's living your life in a show...<br>

<br>

[THE AMERICAN]<br>

What a scene! What a joy!<br>

What a lovely sight<br>

When my game is the big sensation!<br>

Has the mob's sporting taste<br>

Altered overnight?<br>

Have they found new sophistication?<br>

<br>

Not yet! They just want to see<br>

If the nice guy beats the bum<br>

If it's East-West<br>

And the money's sky-high<br>

They all come<br>

<br>

You can raise all you want<br>

If you raise the roof<br>

Scream and shout and the gate increases<br>

Break the rules -- break the bank<br>

I'm the living proof<br>

They don't care how I move my pieces<br>

<br>

I know I'm the best there is<br>

But all they want is a show<br>

Well that's all right -- I'll be glad to oblige<br>

All right! I'll be glad to oblige<br>

All right! I'll be glad to oblige<br>

S.R.O. S.R.O.<br>

<br>

[MAYOR & CITIZENS]<br>

Oh I get high when I saunter by the mountains of Merano<br>

Rosy-cheeked Merano<br>

Flourishing to a fault<br>

The sparkling streams, the bracing air<br>

The therapeutic salt<br>

I'd have to be carried away to call a halt<br>

<br>

Oh I feel great in this bouncing state o hail to the Merano<br>

Hearty hale Merano<br>

Any objections? Nein!<br>

Where breathing in will turn you on<br>

Where water tastes like wine<br>

Get out your get up and go and get in line<br>

It's living your life in a show by Rodgers and Hammerstein!<br>

<br>

Now for the sell<br>

We put the ice into paradise, we are the salt of the earth<br>

Sound as a bell<br>

Check out the waters<br>

And check out the hygiene<br>

At which we excel<br>

Check into an hotel<br>

And schnell<br>

Body and soul<br>

Get well!<br>
