[00:06.35]Composed by：Franz Lehar
[00:07.27]Produced by：Norman Newell
[00:12.11]My very heavy fatherland
[00:15.02]Whenever will you understand?
[00:18.06]I'll sweat for you with all my might
[00:21.18]But rather more by day than night
[00:24.33]I'm sitting at my desk by one
[00:27.35]Among the urgent files galore
[00:30.37]A little furtive drinking done
[00:33.43]I'm back at home for drinks at four
[00:36.60]At private interviews I'm posed
[00:39.64]The weary statesman in his chair
[00:42.64]But keep my mouth severely closed
[00:45.85]With diplomatic savoir-faire
[00:49.39]I play my part without a doubt
[00:52.59]Though the results are somewhat thin
[00:55.74]I use my in-tray as an out
[00:58.92]And vice versa out and in
[01:02.42]The strain of it is great indeed
[01:05.63]Until the day I see the light
[01:09.22]No wonder that I sorely need
[01:12.87]A little change of scene at night
[01:19.60]I'm off to Chez Maxime
[01:23.92]To join the whirling stream
[01:26.85]For one brief hour entrancing
[01:29.55]The moments fly romancing
[01:33.18]Lolo Dodo Jou-jou
[01:36.71]Clo-clo Margot Frou-frou
[01:39.97]But when it comes to dancing
[01:43.87]Goodbye my fatherland
[01:48.60]At Maxime's once again
[01:50.84]I swim in pink champagne
[01:53.14]When people asks what bliss is
[01:55.48]I simply answer"This is"
[01:59.21]Lolo Dodo Jou-jou
[02:02.96]Clo-clo Margot Frou-frou
[02:06.47]But when it comes to kisses
[02:10.72]Goodbye my fatherland
