No. 26 - Supplementary Song - Mitzi and Chorus
Mitzi: | In Frankfurt town there lives a charming German gentleman, He's so polite and shows you all the kindness that he can. And if you're pretty he will try to steal your heart away; He'll send you lovely choc'lates on your birthday, and he'll say That if you like them you can have a birthday ev'ry day! Do you know Mister Schneider, Schneider, Schneider? He's as tender and kind as a man can be. You would like Mister Schneider, Schneider, Schneider! He's the nicest young fellow in Germany! |
Chorus: | Do you know Mister Schneider, Schneider, Schneider? He's as tender and kind as a man can be. You would like Mister Schneider, Schneider, Schneider! He's the nicest young fellow in Germany! |
Mitzi: | One Sunday Mister Schneider came to have a cup of tea, And uncle Hans was there as well, as jolly as could be; At last the old man rose and said, "Well, I must get away." Mama said, "Kiss your Uncle, dear,"-- I hasten'd to obey When careless Mister Schneider somehow got right in the way. So I kissed Mister Schneider, Schneider, Schneider! Poor old Uncle was shocked, I could plainly see; But it pleased Mister Schneider, Schneider, Schneider! He does most of the kissing in Germany! |
Chorus: | So she kissed Mister Schneider, Schneider, Schneider! Poor old Uncle was shocked, she could plainly see; But it pleased Mister Schneider, Schneider, Schneider! He does most of the kissing in Germany! |
Mitzi: | Soon afterwards he asked me if I'd name the happy day; He gave me an engagement ring, for which I had to pay. But when at last the morning came when I was to be wed, He wasn't at the church at all; a lady came instead, And she as soon as I arrived walked up to me and said: "Do you know Mister Schneider, Schneider, Schneider? He's got von vife already and dat vas me!" And it was Missis Schneider, Schneider, Schneider! There were six little Schneiders in Germany! |
Chorus: | "Do you know Mister Schneider, Schneider, Schneider? He's got von vife already and dat vas me!" And it was Missis Schneider, Schneider, Schneider! There were six little Schneiders in Germany! |
Mitzi: | Now many months have passed since I and Mister Schneider met; But he'd a taking way with him I never shall forget. 'Twas very strange this morning, I set out a friend to meet, When I received a sudden shock, my heart began to beat-- I'm sure 'twas Mister Schneider that I saw in Oxford Street. |
(pointing to audience) | |
Why, there is Mister Schneider, Schneider, Schneider! There's a lady beside him, as you can see, But it's not Missis Schneider, Schneider, Schneider! He takes jolly good care she's in Germany! |
