[Intro]
Back in the days of knights in armour
There once lived a lovely charmer
Swimming in the Rhine
Her figure was divine
She had a yen for all the sailors
Fishermen and gobs and whalers
She had a most immoral eye
They called her Lorelei
She created quite a stir
And I want to be like her

[Verse 1]
I want to be like that gal on the river
Who sang her songs to the ships passing by
She had the goods and how she could dеliver
The Lorelеi

[Verse 2]
She used to love in a strange kind of fashion
With lots of "hey, ho-de-ho, hi-de-hi"
And I can guarantee I'm full of passion
Like the Lorelei

[Bridge]
Well now, I'm treacherous, ya ya
I just can't hold myself in check
I'm lecherous, ya ya
I wanna bite my initials on a sailor's neck, woo!
[Verse 3]
Each affair has a kick and a wallop
For what they crave I can always supply
I wanna be just like that other trollop
The Lorelei

[Outro]
Now, I tell you
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
If the river don't get you then the undertow must
But I, I wanna be Lorelei
Oh, and sit and whistle on a rock
