Lorelei
Peter Palmer Lyrics

Back in the days of knights and armor,
In a time long ago when there were knights and armor

There once lived a lovely charmer,
A beautiful woman once lived

Swimming in the Rhine,
She swam in the Rhine river

Her figure was divine!
Her body was perfect

She had a yen for all the sailors,
She was attracted to all the sailors

Fishermen and gobs and whalers,
She was also attracted to fishermen and whalers

She had a most immoral eye,
She had an immoral gaze

They called her Lorelei.
She was called Lorelei

She created quite a stir,
She caused quite a commotion

And I want to be like her!
I aspire to be like her

I want to be like the gal on the river
I want to be like the woman on the river

Who sang her songs to the ships passing by,
She would sing to the ships passing by

She had the goods and how she could deliver,
She had the skills and was good at delivering them

The Lorelei!
Referring to the woman named Lorelei

She used to love in a strange kind of fashion,
She loved in an unusual way

With lots of "hey, ho-de-ho, hi-de-hi!",
With lots of energy and enthusiasm

And I can guarantee I'm full of passion,
I can assure you that I am very passionate

Like the Lorelei!
Like Lorelei, the woman mentioned earlier

Oh I'm treacherous, ya ya,
Oh, I am deceptive, yes yes

And I just can't hold myself in check!
I cannot control myself

And I'm lecherous, ya ya,
And I am lewd, yes yes

I wanna bite my initials on a sailor's neck!
I want to leave my mark on a sailor's neck

And each affair has a kick and a wallop,
Each affair is exciting and powerful

For what they crave I can always supply!
I can always provide what they want

I wanna be like that other trollop
I want to be like that other promiscuous woman

Called the Lorelei!
Referring to Lorelei, the woman mentioned earlier

I wanna be like the gal on the river
I want to be like the woman on the river

Who sang to the ships passin' by,
She would sing to the passing ships

She had the goods and how she could deliver,
She had the skills and was good at delivering them

The Lorelei!
Referring to Lorelei, the woman mentioned earlier

She used to love in a strange kind of fashion,
She loved in an unusual way

With "hey, ho-de-ho, hi-de-hi!",
With energy and enthusiasm

Guarantee I'm full of passion,
I am full of passion

Like the Lorelei!
Like Lorelei, the woman mentioned earlier

Oh I'm treacherous, ya ya,
Oh, I am deceptive, yes yes

And I just can't hold myself in check!
I cannot control myself

Lecherous, ya ya,
Lewd, yes yes

I wanna bite my initials on a sailor's neck!
I want to leave my mark on a sailor's neck

And each affair has a kick and a wallop,
Each encounter is exciting and powerful

What they crave I can always supply!
I can always provide what they desire

I wanna be like that other Lorelei!
I want to be like that other woman named Lorelei
