I´ve got minute
Just a little minute
I have only got a minute
Just a minute

I have only got a minute
That is all the time I have
To sing this tiny little minute waltz
It isn´t easy but I´ll try it then

I´ve got to say goodbye
But first I´ll take a minute
And put in it
Every note that you may know

That less I sing a little minute waltz
And hope I can sing with no faults
I know it´s difficult
I´ll give it every last breath that I´ve got within my body

Hope that my performance won´t be very shoddy
Singing every moment won´t do wonders for my throat

I probably will end up hoarse
Of course I will I´ve got it down a wager

That I made I will I want
I know its not the money but the
Satisfaction that I get from winning money
On this silly kind of bet

Though this kind of solo wasn´t his intention
Chopin isn´t here to make an intervention
So with your permission
And no intermission

I will sing each note
That that composer wrote
As you can hear my trilling
Isn´t very thrilling

But no one can say
I wasn´t very willing
To attempt a thing that´s not been done
And just for fun to sing the minute waltz

As I sing the seconds fly
All too soon the minute waltzes by
And now I ask you where am I
Halfway through the tune and I´m falling far behind

I have less than thirty seconds
Less than thirty seconds
Less than thirty
Less than half a minute

I have less than thirty seconds
I have less than half a minute

To complete this little minute waltz
But every note that´s in the score I buy

The sands of time I know are pouring at me
With my bet and honour with the money
Down to some big store and there to buy a honey
And a trophy for myself

To put upon the shelf
To show the world I´ve won

Oh, the second hand is rushing round the dial
And though I´d like to end this torture with a smile
And lest someone knows how to stop the clock
You´re gonna see me cry
Before I say goodbye

_____ To complete the song
But I´m afraid my little lungs will burst before too long
If only I can last this day
I won´t have failed to sing a little minute waltz
