[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>
<br>
